New Self Help Book Reveals How PI and People Are Related

FORT WORTH, Texas -- Inspired by the mathematical standard PI, Gary Neal, Jr., author, "A Healthy Slice of PI: Food for Thought" (ISBN: 978-1698977850), is helping people to identify, manage and thrive off real-life situations by providing a unique insight into why people become who they are. He's also the founder of Pride and Egoos, a clothing and wearable accessories company. This is his first book.

A military veteran of 10 years, Neal has witnessed a rising suicide rate among his fellow service members and he hopes this book will entertain, but also provide helpful commentary leading to a reversal of this trend.

"When difficult situations arise or challenging people are met, knowing and understanding who we are gives us an advantage in everyday life," Neal says.

The philosophy portrayed in the book relates to the uniqueness of PI and how it relates to people. "A Healthy Slice of PI" took several years to write and Neal attributes this fresh perspective to years spent overseas and time spent in different countries.

The book humanizes PI and explains how people are similar to this mysterious number. Neal says the only thing comparable to PI is people.

Neal has always been fascinated with people and philosophy. He's encountered many people from different cultures. Whether a first essential personnel at the Pentagon during 9/11 or assisting missions in remote parts of Afghanistan, Neal is intrigued by what makes people tick.

"The book is designed to give people food for thought," Neal says.

Neal loves writing poetry and the book incorporates some of this writing. The poems in the book are creatively written to inspire dialog about sensitive subjects. Readers of his poetry have expressed great enthusiasm for his writing and many have been waiting for him to finish this book.

About the Author

Gary Neal, Jr. has lived overseas for roughly 14 years in South Korea, Kuwait and Afghanistan. He has successfully embarked on building his brand Pride and Egoos (pronounced egos). When broken down, the acronyms Pride and Egoos stand for "People Representing Individuality Diversity Equality/Everybody Got Our Own Story." The brand was created to encourage creativity and celebrate diversity.

Capitol Fence Shares Popular Ways to Personalize Electric Gates

AUSTIN, Texas -- Austin, Texas-based Capitol Fence, a leading fence and deck business representing the oldest fence contracting company serving Austin and the surrounding areas, recently shared with customers popular ways to personalize electric gates. Installing electric gates in Austin is growing increasingly popular with homeowners for the way in which they enhance a property's curb appeal and increase security.

"Automatic gates come in a variety of styles, materials and operating methods, all of which impact the final cost of the project - which is why we decided to share with our valued customers some popular ways to personalize them," says Mike Morrow, owner of Capitol Fence. "With electric gates, homeowners do not need to exit their vehicle when driving through them, as they're activated via remote control, voice, sensor or keypad, among other options."

"Beyond being faster to open compared to manual gates, automatic/electric types are easier to use because they do not demand any physical exertion to open them; what's more, they are more secure than manual gates as they're opened only by way of a designated code or device."

Starting with the process of installation for an automatic gate in Austin, Capitol Fence says installation varies significantly based on the type and style of gate, in addition to the system and material chosen. In most cases, the largest part of the installation cost comes down to the posts that hold the gate in place on either side. Sliding gates require tracks and specialized wheels, while swing gates require hinges. During this process, the mechanism needs to be set up and, in many cases, the sensor will need to be set and calibrated, and/or the remote set up so that the gate can operate.

"This can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on the size and style of the gate," adds Morrow.

Beyond installation, personalization is the matter of enhancement and improvement elements, including voice communication, in which drivers can communicate via intercom to the operator. Other ways to personalize a electric gates include keypads, which allow the user to input a code to open the gate; a card reader, representing a more secure way of granting access compared to keypads; and cameras, which can be added to the gate and enable an individual inside a residence to see who is approaching.

In addition to all these options, Capitol Fence also offers driveway and entry gates for Austin residents and commercial businesses that are custom-fabricated in our gate shop utilizing pre-galvanized steel, yielding gates that are powder-coated, not painted, so that proper fit and matching finish is realized.

"We offer our customers a vast array of styles and colors, along with unparalleled and maintenance/rust-free quality," concludes Morrow. "They can choose from economical basic styles or one-of-a-kind designs built to their specifications, providing their home with a distinctive aesthetic that sets it apart from pre-fabricated, 'off-the-shelf' gates."

Capitol Fence is located at 13724 Avenue K in Austin and can be reached by calling (512) 990-2530. For more information, and for a quote for electric gates, visit http://www.capitolfenceaustin.com/.

Global DMS Officially Introduces EVO-Residential(tm) Valuation Technology Platform

AUSTIN, Texas -- Global DMS, a leading provider of cloud-based valuation management software, announced the launch of its new residential valuation solution at the MBA's Annual Convention & Expo being held at the Austin Convention Center from Oct. 27 - 30. Branded EVO-Residential(TM) (EVO-Res), the platform is primed to change the way lending and real estate entities process and manage valuations.

EVO-Res users have the ability to configure every field, new fields can be added on the fly and are instantly reportable. Users can also create new review forms in minutes. Previously, these types of changes would require costly and time-consuming development intervention.

"The process efficiency advantages inherent in EVO-Res' infrastructure keeps every user on task, positively impacting your time to closing and effectively reducing your costs."

Malicious Mediation and Manipulation: When Mediators and Lawyers Hide Abusive Tactics Behind Confidentiality

HOUSTON, Texas -- Wendy Meigs, Texas Pharmacist and Founder of SMA Education and Support, warns the public about the current evolution of mediation into a malicious "kangaroo court" to promote predetermined self-serving outcomes for mediators and lawyers as mediation confidentiality enhances the abuse of the already vulnerable.

As mediation numbers continue to escalate, judges push citizens to negotiate outside of court especially with limited resources as seen in Harris County. But is mediation the same as court? Some strive to promote that fallacy.

Victims of divorce court tell a different story. 70-year-old Gladys A. never wanted to experience what she did at mediation. Gladys said, "My lawyer didn't prepare me..." Missing information and extreme pressuring forced Gladys to settle for far less. As the main earner and spouse after 50 years of marriage to an adulterous husband, Gladys felt betrayed from the abuse at home, an abuse sustained through mediation. Was allowing the manipulation of an abused woman justified? Who really is to blame for the deceptions at mediation to this woman, a trusting, misinformed, and abused woman? And is this the justice the public believes exists in mediation versus the courtroom?

By definition: "Mediation is a private process in which an impartial person encourages and facilitates communications between parties to a conflict and strives to promote reconciliation, settlement, or understanding." This private process called "confidentiality" contributes to abuses and manipulation of unaware citizens contrary to a courtroom where the exposure of standards of conduct and ethics limit outright abuses.

Take a stand for victims and against the protection of mediators. Take a stand for the people. Refuse confidentiality in mediations.

For full press release see: https://www.SMANow.org/press-release-2

About SMA Education and Support:

Wendy Meigs founded SMA Education and Support in immediate response to an abusive mediation. Having experienced normal mediations, Meigs realized the vulnerability of the already vulnerable under the guise of impartiality and the abusive potential of blanket confidentiality. SMA Education and Support (Stop Mediation Abuse), a For-Profit organization, assists and educates on the potential abuses of mediation. We are NOT lawyers. We are everyday people. Together, we can Protect the Public.

Single Mom Heals Grief and Conquers Homelessness through Entrepreneurship

AUSTIN, Texas -- Pamela Barnett has not had it easy. While she describes her childhood as happy, her family was poor and there were periods of homelessness. Later on in life, she pre-maturely gave birth to twins, Parker and Abigail, who did not survive. However, it was these life events, and others, that served to provide strength rather than defeat.

Today, she is the mother of two and a successful entrepreneur who is the author of several children's books, the founder of a tumbling gym, a Christian teacher and minister and, most recently, an app developer. Her latest app - tryitfreeapp.com - is set to launch on November 1.

"After the death of my twins, I left a bad marriage with my daughter and started over," she says. "At the time, I only had a high school education and no real way to provide for my daughter. For me, entrepreneurship was the answer."

TryitFreeapp.com will roll out in Texas, but Barnett has plans to take it nationwide. Like the name says, it's free and leads users to businesses that have free offers that include anything from a free facial or banana pudding to a martial arts class or pre-k reading class.

"It's a great way for businesses to connect with consumers," Barnett says. "And, it's also a great way for consumers to try before they buy."

There are many small businesses that don't have a big marketing budget and this app will offer visibility to tens of thousands of users at a glance. Barnett says the goal is to get 100,000 users on board in Austin and surrounding areas.

Business owners can apply to be included in this initial launch for free and links can be found for pre-orders for androids and iPhones here: http://www.tryitfreeapp.com/.

This app is affordable, targeted and highly effective marketing right in the hand of the consumer. Driving new customers is as easy as a few swipes on a phone.

About Pamela Barnett:

Barnett has two children - a 17-year old daughter, Katelynn, who attends the University of Mary Hardin Baylor and is on the acrobatics team; and her son, Jaxen, who is thriving in one of her private schools advancing three grade levels above his age in math. This is her second app - the first is an effective learning to read app - LearningtoReadwithAbbyGrace. Average just isn't in her vocabulary. She teaches her children and students, "Learn to multiply what you've been given."

Multiple New Developments in Dallas’ Medical District Proves Major Growth and Movement

DALLAS, Texas -- Olerio Homes has launched its first townhouse development at Kimsey Place in the Medical District. With the area's population projected to grow by 12.5% from 2016 to 2021, this development couldn't come at a better time.

Containing 28 units, the first of four phases of townhomes is now available for sale or lease. With sale prices ranging from the high $300s to the mid-$400s, this housing should be attractive to the medical and higher education personnel who work in the district. The area is only minutes from downtown, Love Field, the Park Cities, area hospitals, universities, and major highways.

Olerio Homes' President, Lou Olerio, couldn't be more satisfied with the company's new venture. He says, "I had been looking for multi-family land for a while but didn't want to develop in East Dallas or The Cedars due to the market saturation. I was excited to find a pocket off Maple and Inwood that offers affordability, location, and a developing neighborhood in need of more housing options. I feel like Kimsey was a perfect fit."

With these homes' affordability and convenience comes a rapidly developing neighborhood-one of the hottest real estate markets in the area. That's not all. In the works is a Texas Trees Foundation project to make the area greener and more walkable which should increase property values for homeowners who get in on the ground floor of this new development.

With a job growth rate of nearly double the national figure that shows no sign of stopping, the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington area has become a magnet for job seekers all over the country. The state's low tax rate continues to attract many of the nation's top firms, with plans to relocate or establish branches in this growing region.

All that good news means that affordable housing will become scarcer as demand rises. To meet that need, Olerio Homes is pre-selling 24 patio homes in Modella Park, a gated development near Webb Chapel and Forrest. These homes will be available during the second quarter of 2020 and will be available at prices from the high $400s upwards.

With the land rush on the east side of I-75, Olerio explains, almost all land in the city's east side had already been bought. Since at the time Olerio Homes bought the new land, there wasn't much development on the west side of town, these new developments give buyers an option to own a home with as little as three percent down.

Combined with the area's potential for upside appreciation, this development's central location and proximity to hospitals, universities, and businesses make buying a home there an attractive opportunity for first-time homeowners and new residents.
