Alliance Virtual Conference on Legionnaires’ Disease Risks During and After COVID-19 Pandemic Aug. 19-20

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — A nationwide advocacy group is bringing together top public health officials, water management experts and noted advocate Erin Brockovich in August to continue its important work on reopening the country safely during and after the coronavirus shutdowns.

The Alliance to Prevent Legionnaires’ Disease is a national nonprofit organization that advocates for better public understanding about and comprehensive handling of risk factors around the waterborne Legionnaires’ disease. Legionella bacteria often develops and spreads in stagnant water, and its risks are heightened as many buildings and homes reopen from COVID-19 shutdowns and water is flowing through pipes again.

APLD is leading a two-day, free virtual conference on Wednesday-Thursday, Aug. 19-20, titled: «Recognizing and Mitigating Legionnaires’ Disease Risks During & After the COVID-19 Pandemic.» Sessions will run from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. EDT each day and will include:

An update on COVID-19 and patient susceptibility from Dr. Vickram Tejwani of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
How Legionnaires’ disease and COVID-19 compare and affect patients, led by experts in respiratory medicine and infectious disease
Why Legionnaires’ disease develops and how it should be managed from water source to tap, with APLD Board Member and nationally recognized water expert Bob Bowcock
How public health response and water management can be improved to reduce the spread of waterborne disease and deliver safe water, led by the Allergy & Asthma Network and a national COVID-19 reopening expert
The steps building owners should take to protect their tenants and themselves from COVID-19 and Legionnaires’ Disease exposure and liability, with noted risk management and legal experts
A call to action from Brockovich, a prominent consumer advocate and environmental activist profiled with a Hollywood movie who has worked closely with APLD in recent years to raise awareness of Legionnaires’ disease

The conference is aimed at public health officials, government policymakers and regulators, water utility managers, building owners and managers, insurance and legal risk officials and anyone interested in learning more about the connections between COVID-19 and Legionnaires’ disease.

Brad Considine, APLD’s Director of Strategic Initiatives, said the conference is an outgrowth of the Alliance’s ongoing work to keep attention on the dangers of Legionnaires’ disease amid the pandemic. The Alliance earlier this spring used a national alert to call for renewed attention to Legionnaires’ spread as people begin using water sources that have been idle during shutdowns to slow COVID-19.

«Legionnaires’ disease is the worst kind of silent killer because of how quietly it can develop in our water pipes and how easily it can spread into our homes and businesses and lead to serious illness and even death,» Considine said. «We know from COVID-19 that when people are aware of the threat and see the deadly consequences, they will take the actions needed to prevent these problems.

Our hope is this conference will continue our work to spur productive conversations around the country on addressing Legionnaires’ disease risk throughout the water system: as water is treated and managed at our community water systems and then travels through the pipes into our homes and businesses. With schools and colleges reopening this month and as we continue to get back to more normal ways of life, it’s critical we take Legionnaires’ prevention seriously and proactively. Lives and our public health depend on it.»

Dominion Energy Crews Continue Restoration Efforts Following Tropical Storm Isaias

RICHMOND, Va., Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Dominion Energy crews continued restoration efforts following Tropical Storm Isaias, working around the clock to return service to customers impacted by the storm. As of 10 am Thursday, service had been restored to more than 97% of 508,000 customers who lost power across Virginia and North Carolina. The company’s focus Thursday is on restoration for all remaining customers without power, as the company continues to deploy additional crews to hardest hit areas, including Hampton Roads/Eastern Virginia and the Northern Neck.

This week, the company has dedicated more than 7,000 workers to restoration efforts, with crews from Dominion Energy in Virginia and the Carolinas and from utilities as far away as Oklahoma. The company expects service will be restored to most of those impacted by end-of-day Thursday, with remaining customers in the hardest hit areas expected to be restored Friday. Harder hit areas can sometimes take longer to address because of the extent of the damage and the complexity of required repairs.

«We know that high temperatures amplify the difficulty of power outages and we want to assure our customers that our crews remain steadfast in our focus to safely and swiftly restore power,» said Ed Baine, senior vice-president of power delivery. «This was one of the 10 worst storms in our company’s history. Our crews are working as quickly as possible to complete remaining necessary repairs, including downed power lines and replacing broken poles and crossarms.»

Crews have made necessary repairs at more than 5,500 of the more than 7,000 locations where damage has been reported. Customers can view outage project status and estimated restoration times on Dominion Energy’s outage map.

With these damages and ongoing repairs, Dominion Energy strongly urges customers to be safety conscious.

Stay away from downed power lines. Remain at least 30 feet away and ensure that others avoid the downed line. Call Dominion Energy right away to report the downed wire. Virginia and North Carolina customers should call 1-866-DOM-HELP (1-866-366-4357).

Maui Nui, a Hawaiian Wild Meat Company That Actually Helps Protect the Environment

MAUI, Hawaii, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Maui Nui’s new video takes you on a journey into the Hawaiian islands, sharing their unique sourcing methods while inviting the viewer to experience their deep passion in working towards healthier ecosystems and food systems in Hawaiʻi.

The video not only does an amazing job telling the brand’s story, it gives the viewer a true sense of place; it illustrates why these beautiful islands are so vulnerable and why they’re worth protecting. It also gives a front-row seat to Maui Nui’s innovative harvesting methods and how a deep respect for the animal drives every decision they make—not just for the good of the environment, but for their communities and food systems as well. That’s where the idea for their Holo ʻAi program came from. Holo ʻAi means to speed food where it is needed, and thatʻs exactly what Maui Nui did during the COVID-19 pandemic by donating tens of thousands of meals to local organizations.

«It’s lots of fun to watch our pantries come in and see venison in our freezer. We are incredibly grateful for Maui Nui.» – Wes Perreira, Director, Kauai Food Bank

Watch the video here.

The most pervasive threats to Hawaiian species are non-native plants and animals.
What started as a group of nine Axis deer, introduced to the island of Maui in 1959, has now reached well over 40,000 animals.
Without active management, Mauiʻs deer population has the potential to balloon to a devastating size of over 200,000 animals within the next 20 years.
Wild Axis deer enjoy a natural diet of varied plants and grasses, making their meat incredibly nutritious with 36 g of protein per 6 oz serving and a complex array of essential vitamins and minerals.
17,000+ lbs of food (more than 45,000 meals) have been donated to date to local communities in need during COVID-19 as a part of Maui Nui’s Holo ʻAi program.

Company Description
Maui Nui is an innovative company that started as a solution, rather than a business. By humanely sourcing Mauiʻs invasive Axis deer under stress-free conditions, Maui Nui is helping to simultaneously alleviate the impact deer have on Hawaiʻiʻs beautiful and vulnerable ecosystems while unlocking a delicious, high-quality food source during a time where nutritious, red meat is in high-demand.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Maui Nui launched their Holo ʻAi program, which donated more than 45,000 meals to local communities who needed it most. Through the support of their amazing partners and loyal customers, the program will continue indefinitely.

By choosing to eat wild Axis deer in the form of Maui Nui’s fresh venison—which recently became available for delivery nationwide—in addition to their cured snacks, customers are directly supporting their mission.

Purchasing Power® Offers Half-Day PTO for Employees to Vote in General Election

ATLANTA, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Purchasing Power, LLC, an Atlanta-based voluntary benefit company offering the leading employee purchasing program through the convenience of payroll deductions, is offering its 250+ employees an extra half-day of PTO on or before November 3 to encourage voter participation in the 2020 general election. Additionally, no meetings will be scheduled on Election Day so that employees do not have to work around them. Purchasing Power furthermore has joined the Time To Vote national coalition of U.S. companies pledging to accommodate and help enable workers to vote without having to sacrifice a day’s pay.

Purchasing Power is adding this corporate-wide half-day off in 2020 in order to provide employees adequate time to make their voices heard in the general election. Even with local election offices offering a variety of ways for citizens to vote, including mail-in ballots and early voting, time to vote and taking the time to learn what is on the ballot can still be an issue for many American workers.

«At this most critical time in our nation’s history, we have an important role in supporting our employees’ ability to confirm they are registered to vote, have time to study their ballots and navigate the voting process,» said Trey Loughran, Purchasing Power CEO. «Only 61% of Americans participated in the 2016 general election. We want to eliminate any barriers that would keep employees from performing their civic duty. We hope that other Atlanta-based companies will make a similar commitment to help enable their employees to make it to the polls.»

Time To Vote is a nonpartisan, business-led initiative to help ensure employees across America are able to exercise their right to vote. By joining Time To Vote, CEOs and business owners commit to making accommodations for workers that help enable them to vote, such as paid time off on Election Day, making Election Day a day without meetings or providing resources for mail-in ballots and early voting. There is no cost for companies to join. Businesses interested in Time To Vote can visit www.maketimetovote.org.

Worldwide Syngas & Derivatives Industry to 2025 – Featuring Sasol Limited, Haldor Topsoe & Air Liquide Among Others

DUBLIN, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The «Syngas & Derivatives Market by Production Technology, Gasifier Type, Feedstock (Coal,…

DUBLIN, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The «Syngas & Derivatives Market by Production Technology, Gasifier Type, Feedstock (Coal, Natural Gas, Petroleum Byproducts, Biomass/Waste), Application (Chemicals, Fuel, and Electricity), and Region – Global Forecast to 2025» report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The syngas & derivatives market is estimated at 2,45,557 MWth in 2020 and is projected to reach 4,06,860 MWth by 2025, at a CAGR of 10.6% from 2020 to 2025.

Rising environmental concerns have been the major drivers for the growth of the syngas & derivatives market in order to provide alternative methods of fuel production. In addition, high demand for chemical intermediaries in the production of hygiene and sanitization and pharmaceutical products due to outbreak of COVID-19 is anticipated to fuel the growth of syngas and its derivatives in the chemical segment.

Impact of COVID-19 outbreak on the syngas & derivatives market

The COVID-19 outbreak started from Wuhan, China has spread across all the major economies in the world. The syngas & derivatives market has been slightly impacted due to the outbreak of COVID-19 as most of the syngas and its derivatives production plants are located in the countries that are highly impacted due to coronavirus. Also, major manufacturers of syngas and its derivatives have their headquarters and principal subsidiaries in the impacted countries. The disruption caused by the COVID-19 outbreak has impacted the supply chain of the syngas & derivatives market due to low demand fuel and as the production has slowed down in many manufacturing units of the end-users.

However, manufacture of chemical intermediaries for health and hygiene products and fuels was marked as critical infrastructure and as essential goods and services, which led to continuation in the operations and production of syngas and its derivatives to meet the demand across the world. In the first half of 2020, companies operating in the syngas & derivatives market focused on the production of chemical intermediaries to support the demand for agrochemicals and hygiene and sanitization products. Syngas was also widely used for electricity generation. Significant consumption of syngas and its derivatives is anticipated in applications across chemicals, fuel, and electricity.

Biomass/waste segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR in the syngas & derivatives market between 2020 and 2025

Biomass/waste is projected to be the fastest-growing feedstock segment in the syngas & derivatives market during the forecast period. Biomass and organic wastes are considered as renewable feedstocks that are available in high quantities in many countries. The application of biomass and organic wastes in the production of syngas & derivatives produces clean and renewable energy and reduces landfills to a great extent. The adoption of biomass/waste feedstock in the syngas & derivatives market is in the nascent stage. With increasingly stringent environmental regulations in developed countries, the biomass/waste segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period.

Chemicals segment contributed to the highest volume consumption in the syngas & derivatives market

The chemicals segment is estimated to lead the syngas & derivatives market in 2020, due to rising demand for syngas & derivatives such as methanol, ammonia, and FT synthesis products for the production of chemical intermediates. Chemicals such as methanol are used as an intermediate for the synthesis of many chemicals as well as in fuels. Ammonia being the major chemical used in the production of fertilizers is the prime reason for the growth of the chemicals segment for the syngas & derivatives market, subsequently due to COVID-19 impact fueling the growth of agrochemicals.

Based on the region, Asia Pacific is projected to grow at the highest CAGR in the syngas & derivatives market between 2020 and 2025

The syngas & derivatives market in the Asia Pacific region is projected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2020 and 2025. China accounted for the major share of the global syngas & derivatives market in 2019, which is driving the growth of the Asia Pacific region. China, India, and Japan are the lucrative markets for syngas & derivatives in the Asia Pacific region during the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing demand for syngas & derivatives from the region’s chemical, fuel, and electricity industries, particularly in China and India.

Governor Newsom’s Council for Post-Secondary Education Announces California Higher Education Recovery with Equity Taskforce

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Recognizing the vital role that higher education will play in our state’s economic recovery from COVID-19 and in socioeconomic mobility for communities hit hardest by the pandemic, Governor Gavin Newsom’s Council for Post-Secondary Education today announced the creation of the new California Higher Education Recovery with Equity Taskforce. The Taskforce—made up of state and national experts in higher education…

Starting in August, the group will work collaboratively to produce a roadmap for the state’s education leaders, government, and philanthropic institutions to ensure that California’s public post-secondary institutions recover from the impacts of COVID-19 more integrated, equitable, and resilient than before—and more aligned with the economic needs of the state. Their analysis will consider an array of issues such as teaching and learning, student enrollment and transitions, student experience, infrastructure, operations, and finance. The recommendations, to be delivered by the end of 2020, will outline specific actions that can be taken in the mid- and long-term.

«These are trying times for California’s students and institutions of higher education. Recasting those challenges as opportunities requires bold vision, deep partnership, and practical ideas,» said Lande Ajose. «When we combine those elements, we can reimagine and rework how our world-class system of public higher education can better serve the diverse and hard-working students of the state. I know the equity-minded leaders on this taskforce can help us emerge from this moment stronger and more resilient than before.»

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, colleges and universities have had to shift rapidly to remote learning as they grapple with the financial challenges of a recession. The institutions’ reduced operations and the pressures of the broader financial crisis have disproportionately impacted low-income, housing and food insecure, and undocumented students.

«In rising to meet the unprecedented challenges of this year, Dr. Ajose and Governor Newsom’s staff have exhibited decisiveness and dedication to equity as well as an unwavering commitment to collaboration and diverse expertise,» said Timothy P. White, Chancellor of the California State University and a member of the Governor’s Council for Post-Secondary Education.

Eloy Ortiz Oakley, Chancellor of the California Community Colleges and a member of the Governor’s Council for Post-Secondary Education said: «With the launch of this taskforce, we will ensure that higher education and workforce concerns are intentionally included in an equitable economic recovery. Our goal is to improve California’s public higher education system so that it truly operates as a system and closes the persistent equity gaps exacerbated by the current crisis.»

Governor Gavin Newsom established the Governor’s Council for Post-Secondary Education in August 2019 to serve as an independent consultative resource to the Governor around the economic and social impact of higher education in the state. The Council’s work—to envision an integrated statewide system for post-secondary education that serves California’s diverse students for life—is essential for addressing the immediate and lasting challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Governor’s Council on Post-Secondary Education has now established the Recovery with Equity Taskforce to make recommendations, which will be presented to the Council and the Governor.

The work of the California Higher Education Recovery with Equity Taskforce will be facilitated by Education First, a consulting firm with expertise in education policy, strategy, and research that will provide analysis and project management.

Members of the Taskforce include:

Lande Ajose, Office of the Governor
Loren Blanchard, California State University
Nathan Brostrom, University of California
Bridget Burns, The University Innovation Alliance
Ben Cannon, Oregon State Higher Education Coordinating Commission
Michelle Asha Cooper, Institute for Higher Education Policy
