Labor Day is All Wrong!

I always thought the powers that be in the U.S. got the name wrong – Labor Day. Since it’s a Holiday intended to be just that, a Holiday – I would think the proper name would be Relax Day or Lazy Day or Off Day or Sleep-in Day, something other than Labor Day. Unfortunately, most celebrate Labor Day by doing just that – Laboring. Government employees and banks typically close on Labor Day, but according to recent studies, the majority of Americans are laboring on Labor Day. So to celebrate the month of September and the affection for Laboring, I have a special announcement to make: I will be Laboring, but for a very special reason. Right now, many would-be homeowners and home sellers are caught in a catch 22. They are nervous about moving or the opposite, desperate to make a move. This is why we have developed a special program for those you know that are considering a move.

Just like the weather seasons come and seasons go, so do the seasons of life. I’m sure you have noticed, as I have, the older I get the faster the seasons move by. These “seasons of life” go by so fast, my hope is that you enjoy each one or at least grow from each one. Yes. Some of life’s seasons will be HOT and others will be COLD, some high and some low. The lows we want to move by quickly, the highs we want to stay in forever sometimes. #coreychambers

This is where you come in…

For the month of September, if you or anyone you know is considering making a move to a new home, we will Guarantee a minimum $10,000 Savings for every $200,000 in sales price on the home purchase or I will pay the difference*. You read it correctly – my labor saves you and those you know considering making a move a nice chunk of change. The reason why I can make such a special offer is simply because our long track record of selling homes and specialized knowledge allows us to negotiate the best deal on the best home for our best clients. #realestate #newsletter

Why I Support Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles

I grew up right here in Los Angeles. Born right nearby at St. Francis Hospital. I remember when I first heard about a young person close to our family suffering from a nasty disease and getting treated for that at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. It was then that I began to pay closer attention to the work they do at that hospital. Since then, I have learned that it is a collection of hard-working health care professionals, most making their home right here in the Los Angeles area, all coming together for a common cause. That cause is to help young people overcome unfortunate health issues that life sometimes throws our way. Being a Los Angeles area, California native, I take pride in supporting in any way that I can the good work these people do at Children’s. My team rallies around our annual goal of raising money and donating portions of our income to help Children’s in their quest to heal young people when they need healing. My team and I are committed to providing outstanding results for buyers and sellers referred to us by our past clients. I have discovered that Children’s Hospital Los Angeles shares similar commitments to their patients. And since their services survive on sponsorships and donations we are happy to contribute and proud to support them.

Sincerely,

Corey Chambers 213-880-9910

Below is the story of a patient who’s life was turned around by Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Take a brief moment to consider what it must have been like to walk a mile in her shoes.

After Brain Surgery and Chemotherapy, Florence Gets a Fresh Start

“I feel like it’s spring, and the flowers are brighter, and the grass is greener,” says the toddler’s mom about her daughter completing treatment for a life-threatening brain tumor.

An emergency room during a pandemic was the last place Eugenia and Richard wanted to be. But they desperately wanted answers.

A week earlier, their 22-month-old daughter, Florence, had started to feel sick, throwing up in the early mornings, with no signs of improvement.

An initial visit to their pediatrician’s office had them thinking it was the stomach flu, but after seeking a second opinion—from a doctor who had trained at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and told them to go there immediately—Eugenia and Richard found themselves rushing across town. In the CHLA Emergency Department, Florence was examined and underwent a CT scan. Then came the devastating news.

“I just remember two physicians walking in with a box of Kleenex,” recalls Eugenia. “Our hearts sank, and our world just totally fell apart.”

Coordinated, expert care

Eugenia and Richard were told that Florence had a tumor in her brain, which pathology tests would later confirm was cancerous. More specifically, she had medulloblastoma, a fast-growing Grade IV tumor that needed to be removed.

Florence was admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles that night. Before performing surgery, doctors needed to drain the buildup of fluid deep within her brain. Caused by the tumor, the fluid was blocking one of the ventricles. A few days later, after she was stabilized, Florence was ready for surgery.

Neurosurgeons Jason Chu, MD, MSc, from the Neurological Institute, and Mark D. Krieger, MD, Senior Vice President and Surgeon-in-Chief, removed the mass during a six-hour procedure. Then, after Florence recovered from surgery, oncologists from the Cancer and Blood Disease Institute took over. Because of the aggressive nature of medulloblastomas, Tom Davidson, MD, George Michaiel, MD, and Kim Bira, DNP, recommended that Florence start chemotherapy right away.

“We were so grateful for each provider’s expertise and truly felt like we were at the best place for Florence,” says Eugenia.

A spring renewal

Being a clinical nurse specialist, Eugenia knew the challenges the care team faced as they navigated COVID-19 while trying to keep immunocompromised patients, like Florence, safe. But she soon developed an even deeper appreciation for her daughter’s care providers.

“Throughout our entire journey, everyone was just so patient, understanding, kind and reassuring,” she says. “Even though they knew I was a nurse, they first saw me as a mom.”

After six rounds of chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant—and her latest MRI showing no signs of disease—Florence is “doing fantastic,” according to her mom. She hasn’t needed any blood transfusions, and her hair is starting to grow back. You wouldn’t be able to tell she ever had cancer.

“I feel like it’s spring, and the flowers are brighter, and the grass is greener,” says Eugenia. “Florence will need to be monitored for the next 10 years, but we know that moving forward we’re in good hands. We’re just so grateful for the amazing care we received.”

That gratitude led Eugenia to send the following message to Ara Balkian, MD, MBA, Chief Medical Director of Inpatient Operations at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, which captures her family’s journey in more detail:

Dear Dr. Balkian,

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for rallying for our family when my daughter was diagnosed with a grade 4 brain tumor last August. You, Dr. Krieger, Dr. Jason Chu, and Dr. Jen Lau came to our bedside multiple times to check in on us, and to ensure that Florence had the best surgery and post-op care. Never in a million years would I have imagined that we would find ourselves so abruptly thrust into the patient/family side of health care in the height of a pandemic.

I can only imagine what an incredibly tough year it has been for you, especially as leaders in health care, and I wanted you to know that despite how chaotic it might have been, you still managed to impact our family on a very personal level. Florence had her end of treatment MRI [recently] and there is no evidence of disease. Treatment was successful! We are just so grateful for her health, the great care we received and for your incredible institution. We also couldn’t have had a better oncology team than Dr. Tom B. Davidson, Dr. George Michaiel, Kim Bira, DNP, and the nurses on 4 West.

In addition, I am so impressed with the nursing care and the fact that Florence managed to have no central line infection for the duration of her seven months of having a Medcomp apheresis catheter. The CVC [central venous catheter] NPs have admirable clinical expertise and the CVC classes for parents were very well designed. Moreover, every single nurse we encountered scrubbed the caps for 20 seconds, and let it dry for 10. The education and training to get a whole system to operate consistently in this manner should be celebrated and recognized.

It meant so much to receive personalized care.

Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts,
Eugenia, Richard (my husband), Florence (2.5 years old) and Truman (4 months old).

Blockchain technology allows Real Estate agents to double their commissions.

Corey Chambers is a man with a plan to bring Block Chain Technology to the real estate industry.

In a recent interview by TheOrg.com, Entar Founder Corey Chambers highlights the potential of blockchain technology by applying it in a unique space – real estate. The founder of tech startup Entar, Corey works in the common area between the two fields, helping to make the process of selling and buying a house much easier.

Corey describes it as like operating at the nexus between science fiction and science fact.

“For example, Bitcoin has been used as money and as an investment,” he says. “The reason it works is that it uses advanced verification, authentication on a distributed ledger. We’re just combining that because there are a lot of things in real estate that require authentication and verification. So that’s what we are.”

Corey uses these applications when it comes to using money, making contracts, titles and deeds, and doing business applications.

“It turns out that everything that could benefit from verification and authentication can benefit from blockchain,” he says.

While that may sound futuristic to the uninitiated, that’s only the beginning. Corey is an avid believer that the technology that administers blockchain can be utilized in a whole lot of new ways.

“Just about everything where you use a third party, you can use this. Take the county, which is usually used for deeds and so forth. You don’t actually need the county – the new technology just needs to be implemented.

“There’s other parts of real estate that can benefit from blockchain technology as well; digital real estate, virtual real estate, non-fungible token (NFT’s, which holds digital files) real estate.”

Unsurprisingly, Corey has always been a forward thinker, and interested in technology. One of his first memories was watching the first moon landing, and he was a huge fan of Star Trek growing up. He programmed the Apple II at the Byte Shop at age 12, recognizing and appreciating the power of the computer.

That fascination has been life-long, and there is barely a waking moment where he’s not using or exploring new tech.

“Like most entrepreneurs, I enjoy creative work during most waking hours. Balance is not a thing for me, because work is fun. I’m either working or otherwise exploring the internet nearly 24/7.”

Part of what fuels Corey’s fascination is the extreme potential he sees as technology evolves.

“Bitcoin, for instance, went up more than a million percent in the past 11 years. You look at Microsoft, and people who bought stock in that in the 80s found that very small amounts of stock were worth millions of dollars. That’s accelerating because new technology brings the potential for even more technology – so it’s exponential. As far as investment goes, there are going to be so many more opportunities.”

Entar is a technology start-up that enjoys the excitement of implementing technology at its nexus between science fiction and science fact. We’ve been using a combination of in-person work and telecommuting for several years.

Implementing is, for instance, the title and deed of a property. Those will be some of the first things that are done with blockchain technology. And when I’m not actively doing something, then YouTube is on. So yeah, I’m constantly searching for looking at new technologies. So people need to realize that right now.

In downtown Los Angeles, home prices are still mostly falling. While the suburbs, the safest, cleanest, newest suburbs, where prices have been shooting up, and people have been moving, they’re away from the gritty urban cities that they’re finding scarier lately. And so and that’s still happening, it’s just slowed down a little bit. Downtown Los Angeles real estate was more or less paralyzed last year. And this year, it’s just less paralyzed. But it’s still noticeably slow. And also, there’s a bifurcation between rich and poor. And that’s accelerating as everything that the politicians are doing, Republicans and Democrats, they’re both separating the rich and poor, and pushing more middle class into poor.

What I’m also having to contemplate is: do we want to be like a completely open-source company, a whole new kind of company, that is, like 100% transparent? The only thing is, we can’t give out our client’s details, their names and how much they plan to pay for a property, and all that stuff. But should we make everything else open, open-source and transparent? We’re running, not like a public company, but like an ultra-public company. That’s why we liked what TheOrg is offering — because there are so many benefits, it’s already been proven for the past 20 something years that open source is where it’s at. When you get public acknowledgment, when the public can see what you’re doing, they’re going to be extremely supportive and involved, and your customers are going to be building ecosystems around what you’re offering.

Keeping your secret sauce secret is fine, for a lot of things. But there’s a lot more technology, you can’t have this public, fully embracing you unless you are as open as possible. We’re seeing the advent of so much public, open source software and stuff like that. The internet has proven that open source ecosystems are the way to go.

ENTAR Extraordinary New Technology And Research #Entarispowerful #blockchain

Assisting Corey Chambers is his associate K.T. Donohue, who has a background in Software Sales and studied artificial intelligence before it was a discipline. He describes his studies: “We spent a good deal of our time trying to decide what it means to think,” says Donohue. He believes BlockChain is a fascinating opportunity to combine verification with powerful search and discovery tools: “I am not so worried about what it means to think anymore. I am more concerned that our software gives us the tools to make better choices in an environment that builds confidence in the systems we are creating.”

K.T. has a notion that Entar is going to be a catalyst for an information industry tipping point. When planes were new, it was a novelty to see one. Donohue predicts blockhain is in a novelty stage — we are quickly going to get past that and accept the notion that this is a meaningful technology that can make our lives better and more productive. Real Estate will benefit from the versatility and confidence-building that blockchain promises. | Leave a comment here.
