BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. – August 16, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Discovery Senior Living (“Discovery”) has received a 2022 Argentum Best of the Best Award for its FlexChoiceSM program, the company announced. Held annually by seniors housing industry association Argentum, the Best of the Best Awards recognize innovative new programs and services that are working to improve the future of senior living. 

Discovery’s FlexChoiceSM program debuted in October 2021 and was launched at select communities. The program’s provisions enable resident seniors to eliminate “bundled” or pre-packaged meal and service plans, instead choosing from dozens of available dining and lifestyle service options and paying only for those they opt to enjoy each month. 

Lifestyle customization programs like FlexChoiceSM are a focal point of Discovery’s resident-focused operating model—called Experiential LivingSM—which aims to empower more customized lifestyle experiences that will better satisfy the next generation of active seniors. 

Lifestyle personalization is the foundation upon which the future of our industry is now being built,” said Gottfried Ernst, Vice President of Operations for Discovery Senior Living. “But beyond just optimizing the resident experience, FlexChoiceSM and the latest technologies can help reveal resident preference and usage patterns, promote more operational efficiency, refine purchasing and reduce the number of wasted goods and services. That makes this a true, two-way innovation with the power to change senior living for the better.”  

James Balda, Argentum President and Chief Executive Officer said, “Congratulations to our 2022 Best of the Best Award Winners. Argentum members work daily to provide the level-best care and services for residents and these six communities are doing that and more with these ground-breaking new ideas on taking their caregiving efforts to the next level.” 

FlexChoiceSM is currently being rolled out at additional Discovery communities throughout 2022. Discovery Senior Living currently owns and operates a portfolio of 111 communities in 19 states.

‘NOT A TAME LION’ Wins Grand Prize Alternative Spirit Award (Documentary) at the 40th Rhode Island International Film Festival

‘NOT A TAME LION’ Wins Grand Prize Alternative Spirit Award (Documentary) at the 40th Rhode Island International Film FestivalAn amazing debut for the Indie Documentary Feature

LOS ANGELES – August 16, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Treading Yesterday LLC announces that ‘NOT A TAME LION’ has won the Grand Prize Alternative Spirit Award (Documentary) during the 40th Rhode Island International Film Festival, in addition to winning Best Documentary Feature at the 27th Indie Gathering International Film Festival during the film’s premiere weekend.

NOT A TAME LION, the Documentary Feature, recounts the life and works of John Boswell, the Yale Professor who read and translated 14 ancient and modern languages, became a Yale Professor by age 30 and was granted full access to the highly classified and restricted Vatican archives from which he researched four award-winning books, making him a world-renowned expert in Medieval History and Linguistics. John Boswell was also openly gay without apology in an era that was neither tolerant nor accepting. NOT A TAME LION offers first-hand accounts of Boswell’s closest friends, students, colleagues and family members as they recount his life, his works and his final days during which he feverishly worked to complete SAME-SEX UNIONS IN MEDIEVAL EUROPE, a book that changed the trajectory of the Marriage Equality debate, all while privately battling the debilitating effects of AIDS, which led to his death on Dec. 24, 1994, at the age of 47.  

The significance of winning the top award in two International Film Festivals during the films debut weekend is not lost on the filmmakers, who express thanks to the Family and Friends of John Boswell who participated in the film’s creation. According to Craig Bettendorf, the director, it’s the authenticity of NOT A TAME LION that resonates with both festival juries and the viewing public as they experience the story of a person who influenced society to such a great extent but who few remember in 2022.

Treading Yesterday LLC focuses on the creation of LGBTQ+ stories, including its original series, TREADING YESTERDAY, set to debut on the Dekkoo streaming service on Sept. 27, 2022.

NOT A TAME LION has just begun its participation in the Film Festival circuit with several more screenings planned during the last half of 2022, including Cinema Diverse, the LGBTQ+ Palm Springs Film Festival in September and the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival in November. 

NOT A TAME LION is written and directed by Craig Bettendorf, produced by Kai Morgan and represented by Alex Nohe of Blood Sweat Honey.

NEW ORLEANS – August 16, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

This inspiring work kick-starts an adventure that is as interesting and as unique as the culture, people, and families it embodies.

After a 15-year career as a chef/kitchen personality, business owner, food expert with talktochef.com, and restaurant consultant/critic with catering and private chef services in Lafayette, Lake Charles, New Orleans, and Shreveport, Chef Hunter Lee retired to his plantation where he grew up in Mansfield, Louisiana, in 2016, due to health issues.

Lee enjoys being at home on his plantation, spending time with and entertaining friends and family. He’s an avid traveler and is always up for exploring new restaurants across the South and East Coast.

As of 2021, Hunter Lee LLC, the parent company of Benwood’s Surely Southern, was taken over by and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Hunter Lee Mannies Trust. After the merger, Hunter Lee LLC has worked on expanding Benwood’s seasoning line into full production as well as releasing new products to the lineup. This is the first of three cookbooks written by Chef Hunter Lee to be released in the Benwood’s Surely Southern series.

Chef Hunter Lee discusses the meaning behind his passion for food, sharing, “Food is the special magic that brings people together in the South. I hope you enjoyed this look into life and the love of food here in Louisiana, past and present. I’m honored to have done what I did and where I did it. I’m also so honored to get to share it with you. Remember: treat your kitchen, treat yourself.”

Published by Fulton Books, Chef Hunter Lee’s book offers an eclectic mix of old, new, traditional, and not-so-traditional. The recipes are all created to please the taste buds and give readers a look into the true Southern table.

Readers who wish to experience this original work can purchase “Louisiana: Recipes of a People” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes & Noble.

Shelton James’ New Book ’40 Acres and a Mule’ is a Compelling Account on the Legacy of the Black Folk From the Southern Plantations

Shelton James’ New Book ’40 Acres and a Mule’ is a Compelling Account on the Legacy of the Black Folk From the Southern Plantations

GREENVILLE, Miss. – August 16, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Fulton Books author Shelton James, a second-generation master craftsman, has completed his most recent book “40 Acres and a Mule”: an insightful narrative that highlights the vital role of the Black people in today’s world. This read depicts the perseverance, intelligence, and wisdom of the Black community. Through these characteristics, they maintain their spot as the greatest and most powerful financial natural resources of any ethnic or cultural society in the world. Read more about their legacy in this interesting piece.

James shares, “When slaves were set free, forty acres and a mule were promised to the slaves on the plantation. The ’40 acres’ was the land on the plantation, while ‘the mule’ was the physical body that did the work. Back when Black men were slaves on forty acres of land, you could grow cotton, beans, corn, and wheat. Today, however, on forty acres of land, one could build a billion-dollar football stadium or basketball arena. The physical body code word, (the mule) represents eighty percent African American football and basketball players currently playing today. This book gives a generational consumption of the rebirth of the plantation.”

Published by Fulton Books, Shelton James’ book is an informative short read that digs into the work ethics of the Black people. It also recognizes their excellent skills in leadership and craftsmanship.

Readers who wish to experience this potent work can purchase “40 Acres and a Mule” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes & Noble.
