Dean Katamanin and The Future of Luxury Travel

NAPLES, Fla., Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Amidst a global pandemic lockdowns and restrictions created a demand for consumers to pursue alternative methods in their search for travel whether they seek to reach family, less restricted areas or just plain ole fun. In Prior years Private jet travel used to be restricted to the uber-rich however in recent years the industry has seen changes such as hourly rate jet memberships, fractional ownership, and per seat bookings….

In today’s world, discretionary spending is down, the average savings account has increased by 10%, the CARES Act lifted the Federal Excise Tax reducing the cost of private travel by 7.5%, making booking a jet more affordable or attractive compared to a cramped commercial aircraft. There are 134,071 people that «like» the Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation on Facebook while only 27,380 people «like» the Transportation Security Administration and if that tells you anything, it’s that people want to fly private and we’re entering an age where private travel is soaring and booking a private plane is almost as easy as booking an Uber.

Jet operators are looking for avenues to offset their owners’ monthly expenses, lower repositioning costs and reduce their number of empty legs, resulting in a rise in the accessibility of flying private. A handful of industry innovators can be credited with capitalizing on this industry wide shift, and one of the people leading the charge is Dimitri «Dean» Katamanin with his Naples-based company Jet Agency. Jet Agency is disrupting the private jet travel space by providing its customers access to its own proprietary technology (known as Jet Genius) to allow for streamline bookings, better flight management and logistics operations, as well as an easier and more user friendly customer experience.

While many business leaders struggle to revive their careers at the beginning of 2021, Dean Katamanin finds himself positioned for more success than ever before. His MBA background and extensive industry knowledge have allowed him to focus on the tech side of private travel and enhance the customer experience by leaps and bounds. In a time when legacy travel companies are relying on dated scheduling and pricing systems, Dimitri is making things easier, more efficient, and more cost-effective for this expanding base of new customers.

Dean became fascinated with private aircrafts at a young age when traveling with his family and their friends on Frank Sinatra’s G2SP, taking in the landing through the flight attendants jump seat, instantly, he was hooked. Upon graduating from undergrad at Northwestern University, his passion was calling where he joined Jet Flite International, an operator of private aircraft, and was quickly promoted to Vice President.

To capitalize on the influences of the entertainment industry and their private lives, Dean’s career took flight upon hanging his wings as a partner at Jet79 where he teamed up with film studios, concert promoters, and sports teams which lead to an elite clientele of movie stars, musicians, and athletes as well as many high net worth individuals, through his ability to create superlative experiences via his personalized touches and first rate service.

Dean’s involvement in every facet of the jet business including owner, operator and broker allowed him to see the lack of synergies in the industry, where operators don’t cater to clients’ needs and clients can’t handle a fleet. Recognizing enhancements to technology and the role it plays in disrupting archaic industry, along with the flourishing demand in private travel, Dean’s career is soaring to new heights in his current position as the Managing Partner of Jet Agency. Jet Agency is transforming the private aviation industry with their proprietary technology by offering streamlined quoting and lower pricing through operational efficiencies. Not only will Jet Agency revolutionize the way private aviation is consumed today, but it will also make it more accessible with less hassle.

As a practicing yogi, Dean is a firm believer in one’s energy, and improving that of those around him through volunteering and financial contributions in memory of lost loved ones. Dean’s admiration towards his family and Russian heritage is what he credits as the nurturer of the positive outlook he shares, and his experiences with his family is the tenant that makes him who he is today. His optimism and resilience have served him well throughout 2020, making the best of these circumstances for his company and career.

SurvivorNet Teams with NYU Langone Health for «Close the Gap,» an Expansive Media Vertical Devoted to Racial Inequities in Cancer

NEW YORK, Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — <a target="_blank"…

NEW YORK, Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — SurvivorNet, the nation’s leading media company for cancer information, is announcing a collaboration with NYU Langone Health’s Perlmutter Cancer Center for «Close the Gap,» an essential new media vertical on SurvivorNet.com devoted exclusively to telling patient stories, providing expert medical counsel, and delivering vetted health information as it relates to the huge disparities that exist for racial minorities in healthcare, particularly when it comes to cancer.

«Poverty, a lack of access to health care services and insurance, and other disparities have led to one of the most glaring examples of inequality in the nation; Black men and women are more likely to die from cancers than white men and women with the same illnesses,» said Steve Alperin, co-founder and CEO of SurvivorNet. «Close the Gap is SurvivorNet’s effort to educate, increase awareness and eliminate disparities in cancer outcomes, and we’re grateful to be partnering with the experts at Perlmutter Cancer Center to bolster this effort.»

While addressing racial disparities in cancer care has been part of SurvivorNet’s mission since its inception, the Close the Gap vertical will now serve as a hub of education and awareness within the patient-focused media company, specifically catering to news and human stories as they relate to this topic.

Within this vertical, SurvivorNet will continue to provide expert videos from the nation’s leading oncologists and real stories from real patients who’ve experienced firsthand racial inequities in healthcare. In addition, it lays out hard facts and statistics, including:

A Black woman who gets breast cancer in America has a 39% higher chance of dying than a white woman.
African-American men with prostate cancer are almost twice as likely to die as white men with the same disease.
Hispanics and Latinos have the highest rates of liver, stomach, and cervical cancers, and they’re more likely to be diagnosed at a late stage when cancer is less curable.
Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are twice as likely to die from liver and stomach cancers as white Americans.

«Education and awareness are among the most effective ways to move the needle,» Alperin said of SurvivorNet’s Close the Gap efforts. «We need to come together to discuss the critical blockers that prevent people in minority populations from accessing cancer care, engaging in basic preventive behaviors, and taking part in clinical trials.»

A longtime SurvivorNet partner, NYU Langone Health’s Perlmutter Cancer Center agrees with this philosophy, and brings renowned medical experts to the table for the initiative, including Benjamin Neel, MD, PhD, director of Perlmutter Cancer Center.

«Our mission is to bring visionary thinking and compassionate care to the science of treating cancer,» Dr. Neel said. «That is why Perlmutter Cancer Center at NYU Langone Health is pleased to partner with SurvivorNet on the health equity initiative Close the Gap. As partners, we will collaborate with SurvivorNet, as well as other health and community groups, to provide expert advice and new information to achieve meaningful reductions in the racial and ethnic inequities that exist in healthcare and beyond. We aim to provide all people with the best cancer care and support possible.»

Dr. Neel and Perlmutter Cancer Center, an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center, bring additional, established insight to Close the Gap, having already activated the program Stamp Out Cancer Brooklyn, a related initiative that involves the center’s health professionals providing community-centered, evidence-based solutions to reduce the overall burden of cancer specifically Brooklyn’s low-income communities and communities of color.

The same enthusiasm will be applied to Close the Gap, leaving Alperin optimistic about the future of this joint effort.

«By working together and collaborating with partners like NYU Langone Health’s Perlmutter Cancer Center, we at SurvivorNet believe we can move things forward in a really profound way,» Alperin said. «We are hopeful that we will close the gap, and help create a future that’s free from healthcare inequality.»

About SurvivorNet:

SurvivorNet is the country’s leading media company for cancer information. The company has democratized access to the world’s leading cancer experts, helping millions of Americans make better decisions about their care. SurvivorNet’s resources are built in collaboration with leading cancer centers, including The National Cancer Institute, Cedars Sinai, Stanford, and The Dana-Farber Cancer Center. The company’s daily news operation is syndicated widely and serves as an important source of information for millions of Americans every month. SurvivorNet was founded by Steve Alperin and Tim Langloss.

Georgia Power honored for response efforts during historic 2020 hurricane season

ATLANTA, Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Edison Electric Institute (EEI) today presented Georgia Power with the association’s «Emergency Recovery Award» for its power restoration efforts after Hurricane Zeta, and the «Emergency Assistance Award» for help provided to out-of-state utilities following Hurricane Isaias.

<a…

These awards are given to select EEI member companies to recognize their efforts to restore power to customers after service disruptions caused by severe weather conditions or other natural events. The winners are chosen by a panel of judges following an international nomination process. Georgia Power received the award during EEI’s Winter Board and Chief Executives Meeting.

«It is always an honor to be recognized by EEI for our storm response efforts, but this year it means a little more because our team had the unprecedented task of not only responding to a historic hurricane season, but responding during a pandemic,» said Chris Womack, president of Georgia Power. «It is truly a testament to the unwavering commitment of our team to restore power as safely and quickly as possible for our customers and our neighbors when a storm hits.»

Georgia Power has earned the Emergency Recovery Award nine times, including as recently as 2020. This is the sixth time Georgia Power has earned the Emergency Assistance Award.

Damage from Hurricane Zeta was widespread and covered the northern half of the state and was similar to the damage seen after Hurricane Michael in 2018. As Hurricane Zeta crossed through the state, Georgia Power’s service territory experienced wind gusts of up to 75 mph for more than two hours, along with sustained winds of 25-40 mph for more than five hours straight. Zeta’s impacts were severe and were exacerbated when a strong cold front with gusty winds quickly followed behind the storm, less than 12 hours later.

Georgia Power estimates that damage from Hurricane Zeta included:

Approximately 700 broken or damaged power poles
Nearly 200 miles of downed wire
More than 250 damaged transformers
Approximately 822,000 sustained outages at response peak

Georgia Power also received the Emergency Assistance Award for help provided to First Energy following Hurricane Isaias, a destructive Category 1 hurricane that caused extensive damage across the Caribbean and the East Coast of the United States. The storm spawned a large tornado outbreak that generated the strongest tropical cyclone-spawned tornado since Hurricane Rita in 2005. More than 150 Georgia Power personnel and contractors assisted First Energy for 5 days.

«I congratulate and applaud Georgia Power for demonstrating continued commitment to the customers and to the communities it serves,» said EEI President Tom Kuhn. «In the midst of a global pandemic and often in the most hazardous of conditions, Georgia Power and its frontline employees worked around-the-clock to restore service safely and quickly. Georgia Power is exceptionally deserving of this prestigious award.»

The company coordinates with other utilities through the mutual assistance network. The network consists of hundreds of utilities from around the country. As part of this partnership, Georgia Power is able to respond and offer assistance, providing reinforcements when needed to restore power quickly for other utilities. The company is also able to request additional resources to help restore power to Georgia Power customers following a major storm.

Georgia Power continues to make progress on ash pond closure at Plant Mitchell with dewatering process scheduled to begin in February

ATLANTA, Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Georgia Power continues to make progress towards the closure of three ash ponds at Plant Mitchell with the dewatering process scheduled to begin in February. Dewatering marks a significant step towards completing the closure process, and Georgia Power’s ash pond closure plan for Plant Mitchell is specifically designed for the site to help ensure water quality is protected every step of the way.

<div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference"…

«As we begin the dewatering process at Plant Mitchell, we continue to focus on safety and meeting all requirements throughout the process to fulfill our longstanding commitment to protect the environment, our local communities and water quality every step of the way,» said Dr. Mark Berry, vice president of Environmental & Natural Resources for Georgia Power. «Throughout the process, clear communication to our customers and the community about our progress remains a priority.»

With the Plant Mitchell project, approximately two million tons of stored coal ash will be removed from the existing ash ponds for reuse in Portland cement manufacturing. The project at Plant Mitchell marks the first time that stored ash from existing ash ponds at sites in Georgia will be excavated for beneficial reuse as part of an ash pond closure project.

Today, the company already recycles more than 85 percent of all ash and gypsum, including more than 95 percent of fly ash, it produces from current operations for various beneficial reuses such as concrete production as well as other construction products.

The ash pond dewatering plan for Plant Mitchell has been approved by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) and describes the water treatment system, controls and monitoring that will be used during the process to help ensure that the water discharged is protective of water quality standards. The planned onsite closure methods are being permitted and regulated by the EPD.

Communication regarding the closure plan is provided through EPD permitting notifications as well as posting on Georgia Power’s website. To read more about Plant Mitchell’s ash pond closure and dewatering process, click here.

Georgia Power first announced plans to permanently close all of its ash ponds in September 2015, with initial plans released in June 2016. Georgia Power’s ash pond closure plans fully comply with the federal Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) rule, as well as the more stringent requirements of Georgia’s state CCR rule. Georgia was one of the first states in the country to develop its own rule regulating management and storage of CCR such as coal ash. The state rule, which goes further than the federal rule, regulates all ash ponds and landfills in the state and includes a comprehensive permitting program through which the EPD will approve all actions to help ensure ash pond closures are protective of water quality.

Protecting Water Quality
Since 2016, Georgia Power has installed more than 550 groundwater monitoring wells around its ash ponds and onsite landfills to actively monitor groundwater quality to help ensure the company is being protective of lakes, rivers and drinking water. In 2020 alone, there were 1,292 groundwater samples collected and 54 groundwater reports completed.

Third-party professional engineers and geologists direct the appropriate placement of monitoring wells for Georgia Power based on site-specific geology. Independent, third-party professionals perform sampling, with analysis by accredited, independent laboratories.

Monitoring is being conducted in compliance with federal and state laws and regulations. The first round of testing was completed with results published in August 2016, more than 18 months ahead of federal requirements, and the company continues to post testing results on Georgia Power’s website and report them to the EPD.

Dewatering Process
The dewatering process marks a significant step towards completing the ash pond closure process and is now underway at seven sites: Plants Bowen, Hammond, McDonough, McManus, McIntosh, Branch and Yates. Georgia Power’s commitment to protecting water quality of surface waters, such as lakes and rivers, includes comprehensive and customized dewatering processes during ash pond closures. The company’s process treats the water to help ensure that it meets the requirements of the plant’s wastewater discharge permits approved by the EPD and is protective of applicable water quality standards.

About Georgia Power
Georgia Power is the largest electric subsidiary of Southern Company (NYSE: SO), America’s premier energy company. Value, Reliability, Customer Service and Stewardship are the cornerstones of the Company’s promise to 2.6 million customers in all but four of Georgia’s 159 counties.

«We made this commitment over a year ago because we believe that information security is a prerequisite to serving utility customers and CDG (Community Distributed Generation) portfolios, and represents the dominant risk to the emerging market, our business, and our customers,» Owen added. «We did it to convince ourselves that our operations are appropriately secure, but we also know that our clients care deeply about these issues, and this is quickly becoming a non-negotiable consideration when operating in a regulated market.»

Ampion’s certification was issued after the completion of a formal audit performed by NQA, a division of NTS, the leading independent provider of environmental simulation testing, inspection and certification services in the USA. NQA is accredited to perform management systems registrations by ANAB (American National Standards Institute/Registrar Accreditation Board), UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service) and various other regional and industry-specific oversight bodies.
