Polestar Cars Drives Innovation and Awareness with Actor Oscar Isaac in New Video Series

GOTHENBURG, Sweden, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — In the pursuit of accelerating sustainable mobility, Polestar, the electric performance car brand, today released a multi-episode video series featuring Golden Globe winner Oscar Isaac. A champion for climate justice, Isaac delves deeper into Polestar innovations which aim to improve today’s society, and that of the future.

…

«As the automotive world moves to electrification, important terms such as sustainability and clean energy are becoming generic slogans with diminished meaning,» said Oscar Isaac. «After learning about the company, I feel better about driving a Polestar because the brand is transparent about how its cars are produced, accountable for its impact on the planet and taking action to truly offset the footprint of its vehicles.»

Since the launch of the brand in 2017, Polestar has become synonymous with the development of new technologies, harnessing refined performance and incorporating unconventional materials in the development of its vehicles.

More recently, the brand began publishing detailed climate impact reports of its electric vehicles as they leave the production line, aiming to be the most transparent company in the automotive industry. As a proof point of this pledge, Polestar has published a full lifecycle analysis of the Polestar 2 Electric Fastback, and will release its first annual sustainability report in March of this year.

«We are determined to be the guiding star for our industry, accelerating the shift to more sustainable mobility. Innovation, clean energy, circular materials and transparency are areas of particular focus. A great example of this is the use of blockchain to improve the accountability of our cobalt supply chain,» said Fredrika Klarén, Head of Sustainability at Polestar. «Collaborating with visible activists like Oscar, who are as passionate about carbon-neutrality as we are, will help raise awareness and understanding, paving the path for a more sustainable future.»

Kentucky Plant Begins Destruction of Next Inventory of Nerve Agent Weapons

RESTON, Va., Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — A Bechtel-led plant in Kentucky has successfully begun destroying its next batch of chemical weapons, bringing the nation closer to its goal of eradicating the national stockpile by 2023.

…

At the Blue Grass Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant in Richmond, a 155-milimeter artillery projectile filled with VX nerve agent was robotically opened and drained on Jan. 10. It is the first of more than 60 tons of VX 155mm projectiles scheduled to be processed.

«This is a program of international significance,» said Barbara Rusinko, president of Bechtel’s Nuclear, Security & Environmental global business unit. «The Chemical Weapons Convention commits more than 190 nations to the eradication of these weapons. Our team is equally committed to completing the mission and doing it safely.»

The drained toxins will undergo a neutralization process using hot water and sodium hydroxide, destroying the VX agent. The metal parts will be heated to more than 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit for decontamination and can then be safely recycled.

Destruction began in 2019

For decades, some 523 tons of chemical munitions were stored at the Blue Grass Army Depot. In June 2019, destruction of mustard projectiles began in an on-site facility using a static detonation chamber. More than 60% of the mustard agent had been destroyed by the end of last year. In early 2020, the plant destroyed the remaining stockpile of 8-inch nerve agent projectiles, eliminating an entire class of weapon from the U.S. stockpile. After the current campaign, an inventory of rockets containing nerve agent will be all that remains.

«The plant changeover from 8-inch projectiles to the smaller 155mm munitions is significant,» said Ron Hink, Bechtel Parsons Blue Grass project manager. «That the team completed this safely and successfully – during a global pandemic – speaks to their dedication to completing this mission.»

A sister plant in Pueblo, Colorado began operations in 2015. Both sites host inspectors from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons to verify compliance with the Chemical Weapons Convention.

The Blue Grass Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant was built and is being operated under contract to the Department of Defense’s Program Executive Office, Assembled Chemical Weapons Alternatives. Bechtel Parsons Blue Grass is a joint venture of Bechtel National Inc. and Parsons Government Services Inc.

Historic commitment to global security

Since the 1980s, Bechtel has had an active role in U.S. and international efforts to eliminate chemical weapons. With the destruction of the stockpiles underway in Colorado and Kentucky, along with previous projects in Alabama and Maryland, Bechtel will have safely eliminated nearly 5,000 tons of chemical weapons in rockets, artillery rounds, mortar shells, and storage canisters at four of the nine original U.S. storage depots.

Overseas Adventure Travel Releases NEW 101+ Tips for Solo Women Travelers

BOSTON, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — When the world opens up to travel, solo women travelers will be ready. Tried-and-true travel tips from solo women travelers form the core of the NEW 101+ Tips for Solo Women Travelers, launched by Overseas Adventure Travel (O.A.T.), the leader in <a…

Edited by O.A.T. Vice Chairman Harriet Lewis, the complimentary NEW 101+ Tips for Solo Women Travelers features advice from O.A.T.’s most seasoned solo women travelers, Trip Experience Leaders in over 80 countries around the world, and O.A.T. associates.

«Today at Overseas Adventure Travel, more than 50% of our travelers are solo women, and they’re over 60 years of age,» said Harriett Lewis. «There’s a very wide range of women who decide to travel as solos. Sometimes we go totally alone, other times we explore with a friend, share with a roommate, or join a group. We just love to travel and discover new things.»

101+ Tips for Solo Women Travelers is a «how-to» guide written specifically for the mature woman—whether she is traveling completely independently, joining a group tour, or just traveling without a partner for the first time. 101+ Tips covers a full range of topics all in one place, making it one of the most comprehensive travel resources available. The book includes insights on safety for solo travelers; money matters, including global gratuities; etiquette, dining, and culture abroad; packing like a pro; top solo-friendly destinations; and tips for specific regions of the world. The 96-page book is lightweight, designed to fit in a small travel bag or purse for handy reference.

Tip #26 recommends, «Set up a separate travel account. If you load your travel account with money and do not use your normal ‘at home’ account, it will spare you the headache of having to reset all your direct debits in case your travel-only account is compromised.» Tip #70 advises, «Hide your money in different places. If you wear a money belt or neck pouch, wear it on the inside of your clothing. Take cash, a debit card, or a credit card—but don’t put them all in one place.»

Solo: Going strong
Solo women represent 50% of O.A.T. passengers, with more than 31,000 travelers booked for 2021 and 2022.

«I lost my husband a few years ago, and life wasn’t going to stop for me,» said 9-time O.A.T. traveler Inge Brockbank. «Continuing to be active is of the utmost importance. If you don’t challenge your brain, you’re going to rust. I don’t want to rust before my time, so I keep on exploring.»

Patricia Calzia, a 20-time traveler, said, «People were surprised to hear that I was traveling solo to Morocco. They’d ask me who was going with me—who’d be looking out for me. I told them I’d be with 15 friends; I just hadn’t met them yet. On O.A.T. trips, the rest of the group is so welcoming that it never feels like you’re alone.»

O.A.T offers Free Single Supplements on 92% of its 30,000 single spaces to support solo travelers. O.A.T. provides Free Single Supplements on all O.A.T. adventures and pre- and post-trip extensions, and free or low-cost Single Supplements on its Small Ship Adventures.

The top 5 O.A.T. adventures selected by solo women include Morocco Sahara Odyssey, Ultimate Africa: Botswana, Zambia & Zimbabwe Safari, Egypt & the Eternal Nile by Private Classic River-Yacht, Sicily’s Ancient Landscapes & Timeless Traditions, and Japan’s Cultural Treasures.

O.A.T. caters to solo travelers with an intimate and accessible experience. Groups are limited to 8-16 travelers (average of 13) by land and 20-25 (average of 22) by sea. Every O.A.T. journey is a learning adventure that not only showcases iconic sights, but takes travelers beyond them to experience the true culture through unique hands-on activities, engagement with the natural world, and authentic interactions with the local people.
