Los Angeles, CA, February 06, 2023 — To reduce reliance on single-use plastic bottles, a new eco-friendly hydration station was installed at the Hollywood Sign’s closest viewpoint as part of the icon’s centennial celebrations.

The Elkay® outdoor tubular bottle filler and drinking fountain can be found at the landmark’s premier close-up photo vista. Directly in front of the sign, the popular selfie hot spot is currently a vacant lot known as The Last House on Mulholland. It’s where the pavement ends, and the trail leading to the city-wide panorama just behind the world-renowned 9-letter billboard starts. Visitors will find the new amenity at 6101 Mulholland Hwy., Los Angeles, along the well-traveled pedestrian and bicycle linkage between the eastern and western sections of Griffith Park (at 4,210 acres, the largest urban park in the country).

“This milestone is a testament to the enduring appeal and cultural significance of the iconic landmark originally built in 1923. It’s a symbol of Hollywood and a must-see destination for many L.A. tourists and residents alike,” says native Angeleno and owner of the Mulholland property, Steve Alper. He spearheaded the private initiative hoping to reduce the plastic waste he often finds at the crowd-pleasing spot.

“We are thrilled to be able to contribute to the celebration of the Hollywood Sign’s 100th anniversary,” says Molly Pajauskas, Vice President of Marketing, Zurn-Elkay Water Solutions (NYSE: ZWS), whose generous donation made the installation possible. “This U.S.-made hydration station will not only enhance the visitor experience, but it will also help to promote sustainability and conservation.”

About The Last House on Mulholland
The ultimate branding opportunity, this unbuilt residential lot boasts the most iconic view in the country – a front-row seat to the world-famous Hollywood Sign. The Last House on Mulholland offers a rare chance to put your brand at the center of a high-traffic, heavily-photographed tourist destination. With hundreds of thousands of visitors, a future home on this lot will guarantee maximum exposure and engagement.

Atlanta, GA, February 06 2023 — Angela “Niecy” Harmon, owner and founder of Happy Academy LLC which aims to empower children of all ages through self-respect and self-care, has completed her new book, “Birds of a Feather”: a captivating tale of two adventurous pet birds that escape to the wild, worrying their family at home about if they will survive.

“‘Birds of a Feather’ is based on a true story,” writes Harmon. “My youngest daughter and my three (of four total now) grandchildren needed a place to nest along with their exotic pets. At that time, my grandparents consisted of a boa constrictor, a tarantula, a conure, and three parakeets in a two-bedroom condo.

“A few of my childhood mantras played out in the story, but the most endearing reigns truest, ‘There’s no place like home.’ Two of the three parakeets left the nest to explore the nearby neighborhood woods. What was the possibility of pet-store birds surviving in nature? We prayed for our two beloved family members to return. Miraculously, Stormy and Tweety endured the unknown dangers of their overnight adventures. The pair returned safely early the next morning. Why? How? Did they hear Lucky’s song?”

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Angela “Niecy” Harmon’s new book is an enthralling adventure that will capture the hearts and imaginations of young at heart readers everywhere, encouraging them to not give up hope no matter the odds.

Published by Newman Springs Publishing, A.J. Boyd’s fascinating tale invites young readers to join Time as he races from one month to the next and experiences all the beauty and variation life has to offer. The book offers a modern twist on the classic tale of finding oneself.

New York, NY, February 06, 2023 — Sasha R.C., currently resides in Oregon with her husband and two dogs, Smokey and Bandit, has completed her new book, “Unveiled: Secrets of the Dagger: Book 3”: a thrilling fantasy romance that furthers the story of Sky, a half-breed fallen angel, who must work together with a band of angels, humans, and demons alike to repair the only weapon capable of stopping the wicked Barbas before he gains complete control and plunges the world until utter darkness and chaos.

“My wings have been restored and helped Damon, Daniel, and me survive the levels,” writes R.C. “Michael gave me back my powers and, with it, the ability to live forever. We made it. We survived the levels of hell. We got Daniel back, or I think we got him back. He is more distant than ever. He has changed, but so have the rest of us. The levels took something from each of us, something we will not be able to get back.

“Now we must put back together the dagger. But we must first find where the demon Argo hid the three pieces. I have a feeling this journey will be different from all of the rest. Gabriel, one of the most powerful Angels ever created, will be going on the journey with us. Things are becoming more complicated with every passing moment. Damon, Daniel, Gabriel, Michael, and I all need to work together if we want to survive and end the darkness. This is going to be a train wreck.

“Not only do we need to find the pieces of the dagger, but we need to go into Edanya to put it back together again. Only the dagger has the power to kill Barbas and put everything back the way it is meant to be.

“There are many secrets to the dagger, secrets to the soul-bond. We haven’t even touched the surface yet. We might have survived the levels of hell, but now we must survive putting the pieces back together again.”

Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Sasha R.C.’s spellbinding tale is the third entry of the author’s epic “Unveiled” saga and delivers a stellar follow up to Sky’s mission to stop Barbas, the new prince of darkness, once and for all. With the threat of danger lurking around every turn, Sky and her friends will be forced to keep their wits about them as they embark on their most perilous journey, yet this is sure to leave readers on the edge of their seats.

Readers who wish to experience this mesmerizing work can purchase “Unveiled: Secrets of the Dagger: Book 3” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iBooks Store, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble.
