The Second Annual Blue Line Competition for Northeast Ohio Law Enforcement Agencies kicks off September 20, 2021.
Still flying high from the success of their first Blue Line Competition in 2020, Engage Virtual Range is aiming to hit the mark once again this year with their 2021 competition. The week-long event kicks off on September 20, 2021, and runs through September 25, 2021, with more than 15 local law enforcement agencies participating.
This event is free to all Northeast Ohio law enforcement agencies, and winners will walk away with bragging rights as well as an impressive trophy to display at their department. The goodwill event is designed to show appreciation for all local law enforcement officials and to raise money for the Greater Cleveland Police Officers Memorial Society.
Individuals and businesses who would like to get involved and show their support for area law enforcement can make pledges to “Back the Blue” and help support this great cause. All proceeds go directly to the Greater Cleveland Police Officers Memorial Society. Last year’s event raised $10,500 for Blue Coats of Medina County, and this year, Engage Virtual Range has a fundraising goal of $15,000. Interested individuals can easily pledge support online through Engage Virtual Range.
“This event was specifically designed to build support and comradery within our surrounding community for all that law enforcement officials do for the cities we live and work in,” said Chad Wilson, Co-Owner of Engage Virtual Range. “We are proud to host our Second Annual Blue Line competition and hope to surpass our fundraising goal of $15,000 through the generous support of businesses and individuals who support our mission.”
The Greater Cleveland Peace Officers Memorial Society was established in 1985 by a handful of area police officers after the funeral of a fellow officer killed in the line of duty. Grieving the loss of a friend and fellow officer, they made a promise: they would never abandon the families of fallen officers or let the community forget their service. Serving Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, Medina and Northern Summit Counties, all money raised from the event will fund their general projects.

Technological advancements are transforming industries constantly and introducing new products all the time. Virtual reality (or VR) and virtual tours are two of the most recent technological advances in real estate. Currently, these tours are 3D, with a headset and remote to give you an immersive experience. Virtual tours are essential for your real estate business today since they help clients see what they are looking at, helping them make a more informed purchase decision. In essence, VR lets you see the interior and exterior of a house without actually going there.
Time Efficient
With these virtual tours, real estate agents can save considerable time for properties far away. They can often have the services of a virtual tours agency in this regard. The buyer can access the 3D view of each room by clicking on the bedrooms, the kitchen, the bathrooms, etc. Agents can use this technology to schedule open houses, find tenants, and retain loyal clients, saving time and resources!
Better Online Dealing
The ability to interact online through virtual reality allows for better client relations. Those looking for flooring or insulation, for instance, can ask the realtor about the type of material used in it. The agent can then provide real-time feedback from the comfort of their office, on their cell phones or laptops. With a virtual tour, you can show potential buyers what the project will look like once completed. The buyer can then leave a comment at different stages during the construction. Besides building a clientele, showing clients the view in 3D creates more engagement than in 2D.
Boosting Your Site Traffic
These virtual tours are way more attention-grabbing than simple 2D maps or even photographs. Traffic on your site will increase as a result. The buyers can visualize themselves living in that building while viewing it. You can also add interactive features like mortgage calculators to help the potential buyer make a quick purchase decision. It is time-consuming to arrange property visits, show the clients around the property, and negotiate terms and prices. With these virtual tours, it does not even matter where the clients live. Virtual reality can help you show off properties to buyers who are far away. Having access to additional clients and processing more inquiries through your office desk allows you to work with more clients.
Light on the Pocket
You may think investing in 3D virtual tour equipment is a costly expenditure. The investment is, however, worthwhile. A panoramic camera, some editing tools, and a computer are all you need to create 360-degree videos and computer graphics, or you can always contact some third party for it.
No Interruption
Agents often recommend deep cleaning your home to boost your chances of selling your property. The problem would be to keep your house perfectly clean for several days. Also, during visits, sellers are sometimes forced to leave their homes by the agents. When you use VR, you can clean your home once, take pictures of the property, and then carry on with your life!
24/7 at the Your Disposal
Virtual reality allows real estate listings to be viewed round the clock, thus allowing a truly seamless viewing experience. Virtual reality headsets allow homebuyers to visit properties at any time without the need for real estate agents.
Saves Time for the Buyer
Coordinating property tours can be a challenge. Not all of the properties you’re viewing will likely be in the same locality. These virtual tours can be the first step in this online property viewing revolution. Moreover, you can view properties in other states, countries, or around the world! Viewing a property doesn’t have to be hurried by the agent or the seller. These virtual tours are about making sure that you make a confident and well-thought decision without any rush.

On Sunday, Aug. 1 at 11 a.m. PDT, poets will come together for a “Recovery Slam” online to celebrate the launch of Life Coach Luke Benoit’s second book in his “All Storms Pass [The Anti-Meditations] series: Rain and Fire.” The live streaming event will feature Benoit reading selected recovery self-help poems from Rain and Fire, along with guest poets who will read their favorite self-healing poems.
In his recent L.A. Now & Then interview, Benoit – a certified Life Coach and professional hypnotist – stated that his anti-meditations are “very purposely written in hypnotic and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) language…self-hypnosis has the power to unlock one’s potential.”
Midwest Book reviewers praised both books, calling the first “an excellent pick for anyone looking for a way to fire their way through life,” and the second “a two-fisted, take-no-prisoners approach to coping with challenges.”
The Recovery Slam poets include Thomas Allbaugh, PhD, Artemis Craig, and Marlan Warren.
Dr. Thomas Allbaugh’s short stories, poems, and essays have appeared in literary journals, including Writing on the Edge; In Touch Magazine; Relief, and Broken Skyline Anthology. He is the author of the chapbook, “The View from January” and the novel, “Apocalypse TV.” Dr. Allbaugh is an associate professor of English at Azusa Pacific University.
Artemis Craig is the author of “Inspirational Verse for Those Who Hunger and Thirst: A Book of Poems to Feed the Soul.” She has her B.F.A. in Screenwriting from USC, resides in Birmingham, Alabama and is currently finishing her second poetry book, “Southern Fried Comfort Food: Recipes to Encourage the Soul.”
Los Angeles writer Marlan Warren’s poetry appeared in the anthology, We Accept Donations. She is the author of the novel, “Roadmaps for the Sexually Challenged: All’s Not Fair in Love or War,” as well as a playwright, screenwriter, and documentary filmmaker. An excerpt from her upcoming memoir “Tales of Sushi” was published in The Artifactuals Arts and Culture Journal.
Recovery Slam is the brainchild of Warren who is partnering with Nicolas Nelson of Wordsmith Writing Coaches to produce this event via Yardstream.
“We hope to produce more Recovery Slams in the future,” said Warren. “They really fit the themes of Luke’s books, which focus on the power to heal oneself through contemplative verse.”
