This is a guest post from Tiana Ramos, 17 year old owner and visionary with a plan to change the lives of others, one donut at a time.

Would like to invite you to participate in an upcoming event dedicated to feeding the hunger in our community. The “DAY OF UNITY” Food Giveaway celebrates the citizens and businesses of Front Royal Virginia in joining forces and using our collective energy in an effort to feed the hungry in our community. Recently making national news , Front Royal, also being called “The Footloose Town” has been in a spotlight of both criticism and support regarding individual belief systems.

Tiana Ramos in particular is leading this campaign after receiving a landslide of national coverage after opening her flagship location in her donut chain and receiving scrutiny from her home town and community for the moniker on her business “Naughty Girl Donuts” With worldwide exposure came an abundance of support for the local teenager who employs entrepreneurial driven teens to work in her shop. Tiana who initially felt like her dream of having her own business that started on a dream board and eventually found its way to capitalized investors was suddenly caught in the middle of a religious and political turmoil stemming from conservative belief systems. All Tiana really wanted to do was make donuts, give to her community and inspire other young people to work towards their dreams. A Noble cause.

Tiana Ramos would like to bring her community back together again doing something she loves to do, “feed people.” With the help of other local businesses Tiana would like to invite you to join her cause by donating in kind , with a monetary donation for an event taking place November 23rd from 1-6pm at American Legion Front Royal Virginia 22 West 8th Street, Front Royal VA. Each family will receive a box containing a choice of turkey or ham, mashed potatoes, green beans, macaroni and cheese, sweet potatoes,cranberry sauce , gravy , dinner rolls, cake mix and donuts.

October 23, 2014, Houston, TX – In the wake of the announcement by Texas Lawmakers approving Texas Intrastate Crowdfunding, InvestPeer Real Estate Holdings has announced the beta launch of a commercial real estate crowdfunding platform and website which will provide accredited investors and average citizens an opportunity to invest corporate backed single tenant leased properties.

The InvestPeer Commercial Real Estate Crowdfunding website (www.investpeer.com) will give qualified, accredited investors and average citizens instant access to confidential, proprietary real estate investment opportunities that will provide investors with great cash flowing and profit making investment opportunities, according to the management team at InvestPeer.

The Management Team consists of Justen Aranda CEO & Co-Founder, T. Fitzgerald Jones COO & CMO, and Justin Ryan CTO. With 50 years combined experience in real estate and information technology, the team is poised to capitalize on the new crowdfunding laws in the state of Texas, as well as, the JOBS Act of 2012.

Justen Aranda is Chief Executive Officer for InvestPeer, and is a highly respected investment professional, having spent the last 15 years perfecting his career in real estate. Mr. Aranda proclaims, “InvestPeer will be a level playing field for would be investors who traditionally never had access to corporate backed single tenant leased, high yielding commercial real estate opportunities. This will provide accredited investors and newly minted investors under the new Texas Intrastate law great access to cash flowing commercial real estate.” Mr. Aranda said.

Mr. Aranda also indicated that InvestPeer is headquartered in Houston, but is looking worldwide, “because crowdfunding is online, we have the opportunity to seek investors around the world ready to invest in prime United States commercial real estate transactions. Right now we are talking to investors to help us build out our back end technologies, while we recruit potential investors for the platform through our beta registrations. We want investors to enroll into the program for updates, and access to new investment opportunities.”

T. Fitzgerald Jones is Chief Operating Officer and Chief Marketing Officer with InvestPeer, is also the co-founder of Kickercon Crowdfunding Conference and Expo held annual in Texas.

I see equity based crowdfunding as a very disruptive force in commercial real estate. I think most Americans have dreamed of owning real estate ever since they played their first game of Monopoly.”

The InvestPeer beta website has gone live to recruit investors in advance of the main launch scheduled for 1st quarter 2015.

All properties and potential transactions go through a strict vetting process and investors will only be able to invest after they have completed thorough investigation of the relevant and due diligence.

London and Miami - As Luke Johnson noted yesterday in the FT the hype is over, for once overtaken by the reality. Today the crowd economy moves into the limelight in the US Mid-terms as TheCrowdDataCenter.com team up with JOBS act founders CCA (Crowdfund Capital Advisors) harnessing big-data science to create the means to measure crowdfunded activity and job creation, at national and, crucially, local level in a new way.

The JOBSIMPACT score rates the impact on a city, state or country aiming to reveals how entrepreneur-friendly the local ecosystem is, providing comparisons and key insights, according to the report.

"The JOBSIMPACT score indicates the effect on the local economy by assessing the impact on venture and job creation" said Barry James, Founder and CEO of TheCrowdDataCenter.com "It's proved extrordinarily revealing. We can see straight away that there are one or two truly stellar areas, such as Washington DC and San Francisco, where this new entrepreneurial ecosystem has taken hold, showing what it's capable of. Followed by some very promising challengers and the many in the middle. But there're whole cities and states that look more like a desert and it's, paradoxically, in these that the most pent-up potential most probably exists."

As Luke Johnson noted "The sheer variety and ingenuity of schemes that are seeking backing is inspirational". But as we enter what UK Chancellor George Osborne has called the "Dawn of a new era” the JOBSIMPACT index is providing a new tool to help planners and legislators understand what is happening around them, and enable them to make better decisions nationally and locally.

Meanwhile crowdfunding has become a global phenomenon reaching across America and around the world. The most recent 'State of the Crowdfunding Nation" report from TheCrowdDataCenter.com confirms that it has now gone viral reaching more than 160 nations and 90% of the world's online population.

"The global growth of crowdfunding over the last two years has been tremendous, and it's sustained" said Jason Best, Principal at CCA and one of the instigators and architects of the JOBS act. "While we in the US have been waiting for the SEC the UK has seen growth rates far faster than ours at 350% or more"

All 100 senators and top 100 city mayors will this week receive a powerful, individual, JobsImpact briefing detailing not just their own JobsImpact score, indicating how they're doing in relation to their neighbours and nearest rivals, but also key stats and 'health' indicators creating the opportunity to understand what they can now do to better support entrepreneurs and create more jobs.

All 150 reports, together with a 'State of the Crowdfunding Nation" report for the US as a whole, which estimates that, without any support, around 40,000 jobs will be created in the USA this year alone, will be delivered to the Whitehouse later this week.

"This is the best opportunity in our lifetime to empower tens of thousands and, if at least some of the barriers are removed, ultimately millions of Americans to take control of their own lives, create and build their own businesses and achieve their dreams. To change the game forever to empower us all. This, after all, is the American Dream" said CCA's Sherwood (Woodie) Neiss.

"Presently most of this is focussed into major cities and hubs, like London, Edinburgh, Washington and San Francisco but given the nature of the internet and social media that needn't remain the case" commented James "communities now transcend such geography and with the right support every town, city and community can become its own hub, and a hive of innovation and entrepreneurial activity. Enabling anyone with the drive and talent to take their idea and, with the support of the crowd, realise those dreams - creating jobs and growth in the process."

What is Rule 506(c)? An amendment to Rule 506 of Regulation D, making it possible for companies to solicit funding from accredited investors through general solicitation and advertising. Main Benefit: Most private companies have limited capital and limited financial networks. This can make using traditional channels for soliciting funds impossible. Rule 506(c) makes solicitation legal.  Capital raising through digital methods, such as social media, can be very affordable. Other Benefits: * Provided that they provide all material information necessary for investors to make an investment decision, businesses can choose how much, and in what way, they disclose details of their business to potential investors. * No need for audited financial statements. * Any amount of capital can be raised. * Businesses are exempt from pre-sale filings and state reviews, saving time and money. * Positive impact on small business development and capital formation. Main Stipulations: * Investors have to be verified as accredited investors. * Previously, the investors could self-certify that they were accredited. Now the company raising funds is required to take “reasonable steps” to verify this accredited status. What Are “Reasonable Steps?” Taking “reasonable steps” ensures you are protected from the potential risks of noncompliance – which could include enforcement action and having to return funds to investors. The SEC doesn’t stipulate how companies must verify the accreditation of an investor, other than the fact that “reasonable steps” must be taken. However, there are several safe harbor methods ways in which a company can do this, including:

Verify income through a combination of tax reporting forms (such as W-2 or 1099) and written investor representations.

Determine net worth through bank/brokerage statements, tax assessments, recent credit report, etc.

Deterring Teens from engaging in distracted, risky and life-threatening behaviors while driving is aim of business seeking to raise start-up funding through crowdfunding.

Santa Rosa, CA – October 21 - Felicia L. Jones, Founder of Be Our Eyes, LLC is set to launch a crowdfunding campaign on October 22, 2014 to fund the start-up of the national service for the parents of teen drivers. The goal of the Sonoma County based social enterprise is to reduce the number of people that die each year in automobile accidents where a teen driver in involved. The October 22, launch date coincides with National Teen Driver Safety week.

Jones states that Be Our Eyes is an extremely powerful, yet simple and cost-effective tool the parents of teen drivers can employ to greatly reduce their teen’s propensity to engage in distracted, risky and life-threatening behaviors by utilizing the eyes of the community. She believes the power of Be Our Eyes lies in providing the means for parents and the community to partner with a single agenda of deterring teens from engaging in the behaviors that cause accidents and fatalities while driving, thereby not only saving the lives of teens, but the public at large.

According to statistics provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, between 2005 and 2012 over 50,000 people died in automobile accidents where a teen driver was involved. Jones stresses that teen driving safety is not just a concern for the parents of teens, but all of us, as 59% of the people killed in that time period were people other than the teen drivers.

Jones' innovative approach is to provide a 24” x 12” decal that adheres to the rear window of the vehicle the teen is driving. Each decal has an individual serial number for ease of reporting by the public and is made from a perforated material that allows one-way vision from inside the vehicle. When a member of the community witnesses a teen with the decal on their car behaving in a manner that parents should be made aware of, they may call Be Our Eyes, answer a series of questions about the incident and that information is provided to the parents by Be Our Eyes. The service maintains the anonymity of both the caller and the parents.

Jones is extremely sensitive to the fact that witnessing a teen driver engaging in risky behaviors will be observed by those who are most likely driving themselves. As distracted driving is an issue seen in all age groups, Jones does not want to advocate anyone talking on a cell phone while driving. Therefore, Be Our Eyes will have apps developed that will record the serial number and provide a timed reminder to call and report at a later time.

Jones points out that the Be Our Eyes service is little different in what it delivers in that if a parent never receives a report from the community, then the service is performing as intended. As a single mother for years, Jones wanted to make Be Our Eyes affordable and still provide a quality service. Be Our Eyes requires $60.00 to start and $10.00 a month thereafter with no contract.

A serious commitment has been made by Jones to the social aspect of her enterprise. She will be utilizing Becoming Independent, a North Bay Area community based service organization that helps people with disabilities live meaningful and productive lives for her shipping fulfillment and is providing seedling pines as rewards in the crowdfunding campaign. She also intends to commit to a percentage of profits that will go to charity after Be Our Eyes is viable and profitable.

To facilitate this process, Patch of Land is working with SeedInvest, a leading equity crowdfunding platform.

Grab the kids and get ready for a new take on family game night. Now you can really use your W.I.T.S to win! The latest innovative all-ages game is called “What is the Sentence” or W.I.T.S. The development and testing is done and the response from kids and educators has been fantastic. With some simple cards (big enough for small hands), dice and a couple of timers this awesome game brings fun and learning together in a big way.

WITS is set to sweep living rooms and classrooms across the nation – but first they need a little help from you. That’s why the creators at WITS Games have created this crowd-funded Kickstarter campaign. As seasoned educational game developers, they know this is a solid product and can’t wait to share the excitement of this innovative board game (targeted age 7+) with as many kids, parents, and teachers as possible before the end of the year. There are plenty of perks and heaps of thanks for your support.

The designer, WITS Games, is actually a gaming company that specializes in providing easy to understand, entertaining and educationally based products. This game is easy to set up with a small table or any flat surface. The best part? It’s quick to learn and jump right in – something kids and grownups both appreciate. Kids simply use the letters on the cards in front of them to make up a sentence. It can be as serious or kooky as the players.

With a foundation in fun and creativity, the learning is intuitive and the game helps build vocabulary and sentence structure. WITS challenges players to score points that are awarded through sentences created from letter cards, which are dealt from the deck. Each word in a sentence must begin with the corresponding letter on the card. Simple. Since it’s easy and very interactive, the game engages players and is different every time.

WITS is perfect for playing kids against kids or the kids vs parents since reading level really doesn’t matter. If you can read the letters of the alphabet you can play. As Educational Coordinator Ginger Henderson explains,“What is the Sentence? (W.I.T.S.) has been getting great reviews from everyone (parents, teachers and kids) who’ve tested the game. As the Kickstarter video shows, “W.I.T.S. teaches and enforces sentence structure, it is also a learning tool, and helps create a responsive classroom environment.” Not only is it a fun way to get kids really excited and engaged, it can help them to retain more words and have better listening skills.

This game works by challenging the players to create a real (bona fide) sentence from the letter cards in front of them. Excitement is cranked up a notch since you can play against time and action cards. The gamers can also protect their sentence and points from being stolen by opponents. For all the details on how to play check out the Kickstarter campaign site video. Right now there are great perks for parents (grandparents) and teachers at low price points. Help make life and learning a bit less boring by supporting this campaign. There are a few Early Bird specials so act fast to save the most! Be of the first to get your hands (and brain) on the Limited Edition “What is the Sentence” WITS Board game for just $25 USD. The game makes a perfectly unique present under the tree, and it may just save your ‘wits’ this winter when the kids are stuck inside on too many snow days!

This game is perfect for home daycare centres, schools, community centres hosting youth activities, and family game night. Want more perks for your support? You’ve got it.
