The Home Depot Foundation compromete hasta $500,000 en respuesta a las recientes tormentas invernales

ATLANTA, 26 de febrero de 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — En respuesta a las recientes tormentas invernales que han devastado al país, The Home Depot Foundation anunció hoy que comprometerá hasta $500,000 para apoyo inmediato a los esfuerzos de socorro y recuperación a corto y largo plazo para las comunidades afectadas por las históricas tormentas invernales Uri y Viola. Este compromiso adicional se suma a las subvenciones anuales de la Fundación por <span…

Aunque la magnitud de las necesidades para la recuperación aún no se ha determinado en su totalidad, este compromiso potenciará de inmediato esfuerzos como distribución de agua y más kits con provisiones vitales. La recuperación a corto plazo, que incluye descontaminación de moho y reparaciones de emergencia en viviendas, se llevará a cabo una vez se valoren los daños y las condiciones sean seguras.

En alianza con prolijas organizaciones nacionales sin fines de lucro como Convoy of Hope, Operation Blessing, la Cruz Roja de los Estados Unidos y Semper Fi & America’s Fund, la Fundación ha ido entregando de forma segura suministros esenciales en zonas afectadas por cortes de energía, escasez de agua, temperaturas de congelamiento y daños de plomería. The Home Depot Foundation trabaja de manera proactiva con estos y otros aliados de alcance nacional y local permanentemente, ubicando suministros para atención de emergencias y promoviendo su distribución oportuna a las comunidades que los necesitan.

La Fundación tiene relaciones desde hace largo tiempo con organizaciones sin fines de lucro de Texas, y su fuerza voluntaria de asociados, el Team Depot, se ha estado asociando con Meals on Wheels Central Texas, Rebuilding Together Houston y la ciudad de Dallas para estimar afectaciones y necesidades. Para citar un ejemplo: la semana pasada, la Fundación se asoció con la ciudad de Dallas para suministrar generadores, productos y artículos de limpieza para adultos mayores y familias que los necesitan con urgencia.

«Los suministros que The Home Depot generosamente le donó a la ciudad de Dallas ayudarán a nuestras poblaciones más vulnerables, incluidos los adultos mayores y las familias, durante las condiciones climáticas invernales de 2021″, señaló Carrie Rogers, directora de la Oficina del Alcalde y del Concejo de la Ciudad.

«Nuestros corazones y oraciones están con nuestros asociados y las comunidades que sufren los efectos de estas catastróficas tormentas invernales», expresó Shannon Gerber, directora ejecutiva de The Home Depot Foundation. «Estamos trabajando con ahínco para movilizar suministros vitales y proveer reparaciones de emergencia una vez sea seguro proceder».

La compañía involucró a su Equipo de Respuesta en Emergencias para asistir en las necesidades inmediatas de sus tiendas, sus asociados y las comunidades, llevando suministros a las zonas afectadas durante la crisis. Los equipos de comercialización y cadena de suministro están trabajando contra reloj para reabastecer los artículos más demandado como material de plomería, aspiradoras para seco y húmedo, generadores y artículos de limpieza.

Además de numerosas tiendas en las zonas afectadas, The Home Depot opera varios centros de tecnología en Texas, incluyendo uno en Dallas y dos en Austin, donde equipos multifuncionales de ingenieros estuvieron trabajando durante las tormentas para mantener las redes, plataformas y aplicaciones para las tiendas y otras operaciones del negocio.

El programa The Homer Fund de asistencia para empleados de The Home Depot, ha tramitado más de 1,300 subvenciones para asociados afectados por las tormentas, y a la fecha ya ha entregado más de $500,000 en apoyos para la emergencia.

The Major Williams for Governor Campaign Gears Up With Newsom Recall Looming

PASDADENA, Calif., Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Major Williams, a Republican candidate for California Governor, and his campaign team are preparing for a successful recall of current Governor Gavin Newsom. Voters have until March 17, 2021 to collect 1,459,709 signatures to trigger a recall election. Williams has been on the campaign trail meeting with voters from all parts of California and continues to ramp up campaign activity as the deadline approaches in preparation for a bid at the Governor’s seat.

The Major for Governor campaign has seen tremendous growth over the past 12 months and Williams is one of the fastest rising Republican candidates on social media in California history. With more than 41,000 likes on Facebook, 21,000 followers on Twitter and a whopping 175,000 followers on Instagram, Major’s popularity continues to rise. His popularity is a testament to the excitement residents feel in regards to his candidacy and ideals. In addition to this impressive momentum, every event Major Williams attends generates a large audience due to his presence and ability to rally and unify California voters.

Williams states, «We need someone in office that thinks differently in order to solve complex issues. I have the unique ability to walk into a room of a variety of ethnicities and political party affiliations and gain consensus through conversation.»

The ability to bring together the masses, even those who have different backgrounds and ways of thinking, exhibits his value as a leader in California. Williams is a born leader with an entrepreneurial spirit that speaks to the American dream. His goal is to restore the essence of California and implement policies that improve the quality of life for all. He strives to bridge the gap between residents and lead them in a positive direction for a brighter future.

California citizens are frustrated with Newsom’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and, as Williams stated on Fox and Friends, Newsom’s «poor leadership.»

Williams added that people are «unified by frustration» and that, «[Newsom] said he’s going by the science, but he really isn’t. It’s hurtful to all Californians.»

Major’s campaign is a campaign of the people. The campaign stands for pro life, law enforcement, forest management, legal immigration, and the 2nd Amendment, while claiming to be anti mandatory vaccinations, overregulation, and defunding of the police.

About Major Williams: Major Williams is running for Governor of California. He and his wife founded Major Kicks for Kids, a non-profit organization that helps economically disadvantaged kids pursue their dreams, and he also runs the New California Governor Committee, which was created to vet and support gubernatorial candidates.

Landmark Pet Store Consumer Protection Bill Passes Colorado House Committee

BERTHOUD, Colo., Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today, HB21-1102, The Consumer Protection for Dog and Cat Purchasers, passed the Colorado House Agriculture, Livestock, & Water Committee, the bill’s first major hurdle in becoming law. Harley’s Dream applauds the work of state bill sponsors Representative Monica Duran, Representative Matt Soper, and Senator Sonya Jaquez Lewis in their efforts to bring this monumental piece of legislation forward in Colorado.

If passed into law, this bill would prohibit a pet store that was not already licensed by the commissioner of agriculture prior to its passage from selling dogs or cats. It would also require each currently licensed pet store that does sell dogs or cats to:

Include the purchase price of the animal and the breeder license number in all online and print advertisements.

Post purchase price and all breeder information including name, address, state and/or federal license number on each kennel.

Disclose to consumers in writing before each purchase the purchase price, interest rate/range associated with financing or any credit card offered, and breeder information – including any license numbers and any violations received in the previous two years.

Pet store puppies are mass-produced in commercial breeding facilities across the country. The breeding dogs, the mothers and fathers of these puppies, often spend their entire lives living in inhumane conditions in small, wire cages with little or no veterinary care or human interaction. The facilities are regulated by the USDA as if these companion animals are livestock. USDA regulations require the breeding facilities meet mere «survival standards». The puppies, often with genetic health issues or harboring illnesses, are shipped off to pet stores only to be sold to unsuspecting consumers who do not realize or fully understand the cruel reality behind that cute puppy in the window.

«We are proud to see this important legislation move forward. It is a crucial step in establishing consumer transparency while helping to ensure Colorado will not further enable the puppy-mill-to-pet-store pipeline,» said Harley’s Dream co-founder Rudi Taylor. «We have been actively involved in educating the public about this cruel industry since 2011. Through the passage of multiple municipal ordinances in 2019 and 2020, prohibiting the sale of dogs and cats in pet stores, starting with the town of Berthoud, our state residents have shown their overwhelming support of measures to ensure the humane treatment of our companion animals. Enacting a state law is the logical next step.»

Other states and communities that have passed similar laws have found such legislation boosts adoption from rescues and shelters. In 2019 alone, Colorado’s shelters and rescues moved over 109,000 dogs and 65,000 cats – and over 15,000 of these dogs and cats were euthanized. Some of these animals originated at pet stores and were relinquished by owners when their circumstances changed, or the animal became more difficult to care for than anticipated. Others are still there because they were overlooked as someone purchased a purebred animal from a pet store.

We will be watching closely as this bill continues to make its way through the Colorado legislature, and we encourage Colorado residents who support it to contact their state representatives today.

About Harley’s Dream:

Harley’s Dream was established in 2016 in honor of Harley, a senior one-eyed puppy mill survivor who became the face and voice of the puppy mill dogs worldwide. With a mission to create awareness and educate the public about the cruel commercial dog breeding industry, also known as puppy mills, Harley’s Dream has been making huge strides. Through a grassroots approach by large groups of concerned citizens, the organization has been involved with bringing change in communities across the country. Harley’s Dream is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in Berthoud, Colorado.

PlayColorado.com: Record $325 Million Handle in January Puts Colorado Sportsbooks on Path to $3 Billion

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Colorado crossed another impressive threshold in January, becoming the sixth state in U.S. history to take in more than $300 million in legal sports bets in a single month. With the strong start, Colorado’s retail and online sportsbooks have the potential to take in more than $3 billion in wagers this year, according to <a…

«What’s really stuck out is just how relentless Colorado’s growth has been,» said Jessica Welman, analyst for PlayColorado.com. «Every month we get new data. Every month sportsbooks set a new state record. There has been no letup regardless of what has happened with sports schedules during this pandemic. Growth is the rule in just about every legal jurisdiction, but none have had such a long, consistent upward trajectory.»

Colorado’s online and retail sportsbooks generated a record $326.9 million in bets in January, according to data released Thursday by the Colorado Department of Revenue’s Division of Gaming. That was up 14.9% from $284.6 million in December. In every month since Colorado launched sports betting in May 2020 the state has set a fresh handle record.

Gross gaming revenue, which has not grown quite as consistently, set a fresh record in January. Sportsbooks won $22.7 million, up from $17.2 million in December and topping the previous record of $18.4 million set in November. January’s gross gaming revenue yielded $11.7 million in net sports betting proceeds, up from $5.7 million in November. That produced $1.2 million in state taxes in December.

The opening month of 2021, in addition to the $31.2 million handle sportsbooks generated on the Super Bowl, could be the beginning of a year that could bring in $3 billion in wagering, $200 million in gross gaming revenue, and more than $6 million in state tax revenue, according to PlayColorado projections.

«With a tax rate on sports betting that is lower than in most legal states, Colorado is counting on market growth to get to a point where it is a reliable revenue generator for the state,» said Ian St. Clair, analyst for PlayColorado.com. «That growth is coming more quickly than was projected last May, when we didn’t even know when major sports would return.»

Currently the sixth-largest market in terms of handle — behind No. 5 Indiana, which generated $348.2 million in January — no state has evolved quite like Colorado.

Like any legal jurisdiction, the NFL playoffs drew major interest in January, generating $75 million in bets on pro football. But the NBA, which enjoyed its first full month of the 2020-21 season, fueled $88.4 million on pro basketball. And college basketball generated another $39.9 million. But continued interest in sports outside the mainstream, most notably table tennis, has made Colorado unique among U.S. markets. With $11.8 million in January bets, table tennis has now generated $78.3 million in bets since May 1.

«To put the popularity of table tennis into perspective, it accounts for a similar percentage of Colorado’s handle as hockey does in most other states,» Welman said. «In no other state is there a relatively obscure sport that commands so much attention. Amazingly, it continues to be an important piece to the success of the state’s industry, and there is no sense yet that interest is waning.»

Statement by the Alliance for Lasting Liberty on the Passage of the Equality Act

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Passing the Equality Act without significant bipartisan support is a missed opportunity to develop more comprehensive, balanced legislation that can vigorously protect LGBT rights while providing robust protections for religious freedom.

The Alliance for Lasting Liberty continues advocating for fairness legislation that will extend civil rights protections to the LGBT community while also protecting religious rights and safeguarding the historical…

President Biden, a man of faith and a champion of LGBT rights, is best positioned to bridge the unnecessary divide between LGBT rights and religious freedom.

This division doesn’t have to continue. We know that Americans across the political spectrum agree on fundamental values of fairness, equality, and personal freedom.

We believe every American deserves respect and safety, particularly at a time when many minority religions face unprecedented hate crimes and violence. People of faith and the organizations they form do indispensable work to serve the common good.

We believe every gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender American deserves an equal chance at living the American Dream. LGBT people face abhorrent discrimination and we are moved to action by the stories of so many people, especially LGBT people of color, who need comprehensive federal protections, and need them urgently.

The United States Senate has the opportunity to draft a law that reflects a real, broad consensus where we are confident fairness can be achieved.

BorgWarner Donates $1,025,000 to Kettering University to Establish Scholars Program and Other Initiatives to Support Opportunities for Minorities

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — BorgWarner is taking further action in its commitment to diversity through a donation of $925,000 for scholarships for Kettering University students. The BorgWarner Scholars Program will aim to distribute annual scholarships to students in financial need, with a primary focus on African American and Hispanic students who have an interest in participating in an engineering co-op at…

Kettering University and BorgWarner will work together to identify students in underserved communities through various recruitment efforts. Through the endowment, Kettering University will be able to award scholarships – with nearly $40,000 earmarked annually. Students will be on-site, full time at BorgWarner during their paid co-op rotations which start freshmen year. During these rotations, students will gain over two years of real-world experience working alongside BorgWarner engineers and mentors, gaining skills to support and supplement their schoolwork and eventual transition into salaried, full-time employment.

Separately, BorgWarner donated $100,000 to support a new Kettering University initiative and help expand it to more corporate sponsors.

«At BorgWarner, we’re dedicated to cultivating a diverse workforce and in order to do so, we need to take action at the student level and help talented, bright, diverse minds overcome the barriers they are facing,» said Felecia Pryor, Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer, BorgWarner Inc. «We relate well with Kettering University’s commitment to education that embodies technology and innovation and believe this endowment will be truly successful in opening doors and creating opportunities for students in the field who are most in need.»

Though science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) employment is surging, African American and Hispanic professionals are significantly under-represented in the field. This is in-part because many underrepresented students lack the resources and vision to realize STEM success is achievable for them. Kettering University is working with BorgWarner, among other industry partners, to provide gateway opportunities that foster and promote curiosity, provide and leverage educational resources and focus on career transition into STEM fields for the long-term.

«We are grateful to BorgWarner for investing in experiential, as well as financial, opportunities for students,» said Sue Davies, Vice President of University Advancement and External Relations at Kettering. «The impact this, coupled with our unique Co-op and educational experience, will have on these students immediately prepares them to be innovators and leaders in STEM industries around the world. I’m most excited about how this will complement and further enhance our existing Office of Multicultural Students Initiatives (OMSI) which provides tutoring, mentorship and other support services to ensure our students’ success.»

BorgWarner presented the $1,025,000 check to Kettering University on February 25, fortifying the partnership.

Offshore Wind Turbine Market Worth $68,869.3 Million by 2026 says P&S Intelligence

NEW YORK, Feb. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — With the increasing government initiatives for clean energy production, the global offshore wind turbine market is expected to grow to $68,869.3 million by 2026, from $24,683.3 million in 2019, according to P&S Intelligence. The generation of electricity from fossil fuels is leading to a rise in air pollution levels, which are, in turn, resulting in global warming. Moreover, as per BP plc, if the crude oil, natural gas, and coal reserves are exploited at the 2016 levels, then the current stocks are only enough for the next 50.6 years.

Get the sample copy of this report at @ https://www.psmarketresearch.com/market-analysis/global-offshore-wind-turbine-market-analysis/report-sample

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the offshore wind turbine market is witnessing subdued growth, as the lockdown initiated in numerous countries has halted the supply of wind tower components. Moreover, the ongoing projects for offshore windmill installation have also been postponed, for want of funding and laborers. However, once the situation betters and lockdown is lifted, the market is projected to recover.

The shallow-water (up to 30 meters) category, on the basis of water depth, dominated the offshore wind turbine market in the past, on account of the higher convenience this depth offers for the setting up of windmills, compared to transitional and deep waters. Moreover, maintaining and repairing shallow-water wind installations are also easier, which is why this depth is preferred for establishing wind power plants.

Browse detailed report with COVID-19 impact analysis on Offshore Wind Turbine Market Research Report: By Water Depth (Shallow Water, Transitional Water, Deep Water), Installation (Fixed, Floating), Turbine Capacity (Up to 3 MW, 3 MW to 5 MW, > 5 MW) – Global Industry Analysis and Demand Forecast to 2026 @ https://www.psmarketresearch.com/market-analysis/global-offshore-wind-turbine-market-analysis

In the coming years, fixed will be the larger bifurcation in the offshore wind turbine market, based on installation. This is because fixed windmills are not only cost-effective, but also easier to commission and decommission. In addition, strong currents, waves, and winds are not that impactful on fixed installations, which are able to stay where they are, under such conditions.

The 3 Megawatt (MW)-to-5 MW classification, under the turbine capacity segment, contributes the highest revenue to the offshore wind turbine market, and this situation is predicted to be unchanged in the immediate future. This is because turbines of this power rating have a higher electricity generation capacity, but lower maintenance costs, which is why they are garnering heavy investments from private and public enterprises.

Make enquiry about this report at @ https://www.psmarketresearch.com/send-enquiry?enquiry-url=global-offshore-wind-turbine-market-analysis

Asia-Pacific (APAC) would account for a considerable share in the offshore wind turbine market in the years to come because of the high dependence on fossil fuels for electricity. As this has raised air pollution in APAC to alarming levels, governments of regional countries are taking initiatives to generate clean energy, including installing wind towers on seas and lakes. For instance, the Chinese government is targeting a 400 Gigawatts (GW) wind power capacity by 2030, for which several provinces, such as Fujian, Jiangsu, and Guangdong, have already reached their individual targets.

The most prominent firms in the global offshore wind turbine market are Envision Energy, MHI Vestas Offshore Wind A/S, Nordex SE, Ocean Breeze Energy GmbH & Co. KG, Nexans S.A., Sinovel Wind Group Co. Ltd., Ørsted A/S, Xinjiang Goldwind Science Technology Co. Ltd., Mingyang Smart Energy Group Co. Ltd., General Electric Company, and Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy S.A.
