NAPLES, Italy, Feb. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Italy is known for being the epicenter of charm and magic where layers of historic beauty superimpose on each other to form a panorama of culture that is still alive and palpable today. More specifically there exists a special province in Italy which is known globally for its great feats in gastronomy.

Zooming closer in on the map, it can be found near Piazza San Gaetano, the ancient agora of Neapolis, the point at which history converges, all within excavations under the nearby basilica of San Lorenzo Maggiore. The pizzeria Le Sorelle Bandiera is located right in the space of the ancient Roman theater – a convergence unlike any other!

It is here in the midst of all this cheer and historical wonder that lies Le Sorelle Bandiera, a pizzeria built into the body of the basilica of San Paolo Maggiore which still stands from the eighth century, on the remains of the temple of the Dioscuri. Even the positioning of the modern-day pizzeria marvel, places it in the centre of magical history, spectacular scenery and gastronomic practices that bring the meals of yesteryear into every bit of the present day.

Le Sorelle Bandiera is just one of the genius incarnations of speleologist Vincenzo Albertini, president of the Naples Underground (Napoli Sotterranea) Association. Not only did he incorporate culinary heritage to honor the history of the landscape into the food, he took the time to furnish the restaurant in the undeniable artistic themes of eighteenth-century Naples.

On entry, it is clear that Vincenzo Albertini and the team at Naples Underground (Napoli Sotterranea) created this unique pizzeria from their overwhelming wealth of knowledge of the history and culture of Naples, and chose to take it a step further by elevating the details with refined taste, paying special homage to the world upon which it stands, both literally and figuratively.

Beyond the world that you’re now transported into, the pizza serves as the crowning ingredient, adding an additional layer of uniqueness to this entire experience. Albertini and his team went to great lengths to ensure that the pizza being served, came along with as much historical honesty as the ambiance. The pizza goes through extensive preparation, as the dough is left to leaven for 24 – 48 hours in special Neapolitan yellow tuff chambers, after which they are then cooked in ovens made of the same material. In addition to this one-of-a-kind environment in which the pizzas are prepared, further underground in some of the gardens, additional ingredients are also grown to supply an organic, flavor-packed culinary experience unlike any other.

La Sorelle Bandiera is located in via Cinquesanti 33 Naples and boasts of quite a spacious floor plan of over 300 square meters with seating for just around 200, making it the perfect pit stop to enjoy a true slice of Neapolitan life.

(NASDAQ:SPWR), a leading solar technology and energy services provider, today announced the new mySunPower™ app, the company’s new experience for homeowners to review and manage their energy generation, consumption, and battery storage settings from a mobile device. The new mySunPower app for monitoring will be available for download for SunPower Equinox® customers on Feb. 16 on the Apple App Store and…

SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — SunPower Corp. (NASDAQ:SPWR), a leading solar technology and energy services provider, today announced the new mySunPower™ app, the company’s new experience for homeowners to review and manage their energy generation, consumption, and battery storage settings from a mobile device. The new mySunPower app for monitoring will be available for download for SunPower Equinox® customers on Feb. 16 on the Apple App Store and Google Play and will be available to all of SunPower’s 285,000 monitoring customers by spring 2021.

Designed to integrate seamlessly with SunPower’s existing homeowner platform, the mySunPower app makes it possible to optimize energy use, save money, and become less dependent on traditional energy providers in the face of rolling blackouts, natural disasters, and the impacts of climate change.

SunPower has completely rethought the monitoring experience for homeowners. Launch features include:

  • Storage system controls: mySunPower users can control their battery settings from the palm of their hand. Homeowners can set their battery to minimize energy costs, lower their carbon footprint, or preserve maximum resilience in the event of unforeseen power outages.
  • Live power flow: With live data, Equinox customers with production meters can view the immediate impact of their energy choices, including the effects of changing weather conditions, adjustments in battery settings, or even the use of small appliances such as a microwave in real time.
  • In-app alerts: New notification features alert homeowners to important changes to their system status, connectivity, and weather conditions. Additional app features expected to be released later in 2021 include alerts for homeowners to prepare for rolling blackouts and other disruptions.

A TIPPING POINT FOR SOLAR AND STORAGE

According to data from Wood Mackenzie and the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), more than 25 percent of on-site solar systems will be paired with storage by 2025. The new mySunPower app will reduce the learning curve for customers adopting solar and storage through a completely revamped interface, actionable insights based on real-time data, and live in-app updates on the system’s status and connectivity. This customer-focused innovation will help facilitate the adoption of solar and storage systems, such as SunPower’s SunVault™ storage, transforming North America’s distributed energy grid.

«The launch of the new mySunPower app represents a major step forward for solar and storage customers,» said Jake Wachman, vice president of software product and engineering. «By combining system monitoring and control in a single, easy-to-use mobile application, SunPower is changing how homeowners interact with renewable energy technology. The new mySunPower app establishes solar and storage systems firmly in the growing smart home ecosystem.»

The app will integrate seamlessly with the mySunPower web portal, offering consumers one experience from purchase and installation to monitoring.  For more information on the new capabilities of the mySunPower app, please visit https://us.sunpower.com/products/software/mysunpower.

Premier Smart City, Peachtree Corners, Launches Test Vehicle For Use by Public to Research and Test Mobility Technology

PEACHTREE CORNERS, Ga., Feb. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Peachtree Corners – the nation’s first smart city environment powered by real-world infrastructure and next-generation connectivity – today announced the addition of a mobility research and test vehicle designed to help companies and organizations develop and prove out new advanced mobility and…

PEACHTREE CORNERS, Ga., Feb. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Peachtree Corners – the nation’s first smart city environment powered by real-world infrastructure and next-generation connectivity – today announced the addition of a mobility research and test vehicle designed to help companies and organizations develop and prove out new advanced mobility and autonomous technologies in a living laboratory environment. The Ford Edge-based test vehicle is equipped with Level 3 autonomous capabilities on an open-source platform – differentiated from other test vehicles that either only test within closed courses or are limited to a host company’s proprietary platform.

  • Companies working on full autonomous driving systems, mapping, light detection/ranging (LiDAR), cameras/computer vision, radar, V2X systems and/or data/simulation are invited to Curiosity Lab at Peachtree Corners to test.
  • The test vehicle will be interacting with city-owned smart infrastructure, allowing technologies to be developed with real-world scenarios, including thousands of local residents who live, work and drive alongside the vehicle.
  • The test vehicle is equipped with a large rooftop rack, giving companies the ability to attach their own LiDAR and other sensors for testing. Engineers may easily access historical AV data directly from Ford’s autonomous vehicle dataset.
  • Invaluable data from the sensors and devices on the test vehicle, as well as across city infrastructure, is analyzed and made available to engineers through the city’s central control room – giving developers a unique advantage as they work to mature new technologies.

«There have been many mobility test vehicles introduced these past several years, but at Curiosity Lab at Peachtree Corners, companies have the opportunity to develop new technologies on an open source mobility platform alongside other emerging solutions, while also leveraging actual smart infrastructure wholly owned by the city – not proprietary, closed platforms in closed track environments,» said Brandon Branham, chief technology officer and assistant city manager of Peachtree Corners. «The Ford Edge based test platform here operates in a living lab environment alongside residents that are walking and driving on the same public street. And we’re the first city in the world to insure a public roadway for both driven and driverless vehicle activity – giving companies a true advantage as they look to learn and improve their technologies before they ‘graduate’ and scale.»

«We’re proud to have delivered multiple smart city firsts to date, and the introduction of an open-source platform for mobility research and testing is yet another milestone – giving companies the ability to develop new technologies in an actual city – complete with obstacles and everyday challenges that autonomous machines need to learn how to face,» said Brian Johnson, city manager of Peachtree Corners. «We’ve already had successful long-term tests of autonomous shuttles, Ollie, transporting residents – and we are excited to have the opportunity to have a platform that will help move the world even closer to fulfilling the vision of fully autonomous vehicles operating safely in a city.»

The Caribbean’s Most «Breathtaking» Master-Planned Resort Community Releases Phase Two of Real Estate Following Strong Launch and High Demand

The Caribbean’s Most «Breathtaking» Master-Planned Resort Community Releases Phase Two of Real Estate Following Strong Launch and High Demand

TORONTO, Feb. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Cabot, the developer and operator of master-planned golf resort communities, announces the release of new real estate at Cabot Saint Lucia, nestled along the Saint Lucian hillside with striking views of the Caribbean Sea. After quietly launching its first phase of real estate in late 2020, land sales have exceeded $50 million. The second resort from the acclaimed Cabot brand is located on Point Hardy, a spectacular 375-acre peninsula at the northern tip of Saint Lucia. Situated along 1.5 miles of breathtaking coastline, the development will include a residential community with world-class amenities and a boutique resort anchored by a magnificent Coore & Crenshaw-designed golf course.

«The challenges of the past several months have made our vision for Cabot Saint Lucia more relevant than ever,» said Ben Cowan-Dewar, CEO and Co-founder of Cabot. «Our goal is to create a beautiful place for families to enjoy amid the incredible natural surroundings of Saint Lucia. We’re humbled by the overwhelming response to date and look forward to launching new real estate that meets the evolving needs of buyers today, including our first built product.»

Families seeking multi-generational homes in easy-to-access locales with bountiful outdoor spaces have fueled sales at Cabot Saint Lucia. Phase One lots sold at an average price point of over $2.1 million, with buyers coming predominantly from the U.S. and Canada. Tours have taken place both virtually and on property in Saint Lucia, following government-mandated safety protocols. In the face of travel restrictions, many people have bought site unseen, a testament to the excitement for the development.

Phase Two real estate is now available for sale, including an exclusive offering of premium lots with endless views of the sparkling turquoise sea and highly anticipated, beautifully-crafted townhomes perched on one of the site’s highest points. The landscape features tropical hillsides, sweeping meadows and coastal promontories along with striking elevation changes. Pricing for Phase Two ranges from $2 to $11 million.

The award-winning architect, Richard Hywel Evans of Studio RHE, is leading the design process. Design development of the residences includes planning for the possibilities of each day in paradise, from morning swims to family lunches and evenings under the stars. Sustainable materials have been carefully selected for a naturally modern design that enables the best of indoor-outdoor living so owners can seamlessly enjoy the idyllic Caribbean environment year-round.

Renowned golf course architects Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw have been meticulous in design efforts for their first Caribbean golf course as they progress construction of Cabot Point, which is set to open in 2022. The team has completed shaping of more than half of the golf course and driving range. Special attention has been placed on preserving the local habitat by replanting existing cacti and native grasses.

«I have never been more excited about Cabot Saint Lucia,» said Bill Coore, Co-principal of Coore & Crenshaw. «Our primary goal is to ensure the playability and enjoyment aspects of the golf course complement the spectacular visuals of the site, where nine holes play along the ocean.  Seeing the creative work, construction and design coming together has been a ‘watershed moment’ for me, moving from potential to reality.»

Residents and guests will have exclusive access to world-class amenities and experiences curated specifically for the destination. Along with the show-stopping Coore & Crenshaw course, plans include boutique retail shops, multiple dining venues, comfort stations and a Cabot Spa. Outdoor activities will complete the experience with a full-service beach club, sports facility, including a state-of-the-art fitness center and tennis courts, and excursions with the Cabot Saint Lucia Explorers Team. 

Saint Lucia is open to visitors from all countries and continues to be a model for its responsible approach to managing the COVID-19 pandemic. The country was among the first in the Caribbean to reopen in 2020 and has maintained balanced travel protocols in order to keep the local community safe while also supporting the tourism industry.

About Cabot Saint Lucia:
As the second resort from the acclaimed developers of Cabot Cape Breton, Cabot Saint Lucia will offer a brand-new golf club, boutique resort and residential community located on a spectacular 375-acre peninsula in Saint Lucia.

About the ADP® National Employment Report™
The ADP® National Employment Report™ is a monthly measure of the change in total U.S. nonfarm private employment derived from actual, anonymous payroll data of client companies served by ADP®, a leading provider of human capital management solutions.  The report, which measures nearly 26 million U.S. workers, is produced by the ADP Research Institute®, a specialized group within the company that provides insights around employment trends and workforce strategy, in collaboration with Moody’s Analytics, Inc.

Each month, ADP Research Institute issues the ADP National Employment Report as part of the company’s commitment to adding deeper insights into the U.S. labor market and providing businesses, governments and others with a source of credible and valuable information.  The ADP National Employment Report is broadly distributed to the public each month, free of charge.

The data for this report is collected for pay periods that can be interpolated to include the week of the 12th of each month, and processed with statistical methodologies similar to those used by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics to compute employment from its monthly survey of establishments.  Due to this processing, this subset is modified to make it indicative of national employment levels; therefore, the resulting employment changes computed for the ADP National Employment Report are not representative of changes in ADP’s total base of U.S. business clients.

For a description of the underlying data and the statistical model used to create this report, please see the ADP National Employment Report: Development Methodology.

The Navy Veteran was joined by hundreds of California residents whose lives have been drastically changed by Newsom’s inability to keep the state afloat. Regardless of political party or beliefs, people gathered in front of the municipal center to share the hardships they have faced ever since Newsom took office. For the past 2 years, California has had a rise in jobs leaving the state, failing schools, homelessness and crime. Newsom has mismanaged the state’s budget and has failed to be the leader the state and people need during a global pandemic. It’s time for change and a better leader.

Collins will continue his 28 day road trip all across the state of California, where residents will be able to start the initiative to recall Newsom. People will get to enjoy food vendors, live music and words of encouragement from Collins and his team as they promise Californians a better future.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Orion Labs, Inc., the leading voice-first, intelligent collaboration platform that empowers deskless workers, today announced Hamilton Princess & Beach Club has selected Orion’s collaboration platform to enhance team communication, improve productivity, and support worker safety for its housekeeping, security, engineering, spa, grounds, transportation, and front desk teams. The hotel is a Fairmont managed hotel.

Fairmont Hotels & Resorts has over 75 resorts globally, including iconic hotels like The Plaza in New York, The Savoy in London, and The Fairmont Palm in Dubai. Each hotel offers an unrivaled, luxurious experience founded in exceptional and engaging service. Fairmont is owned by the ACCOR Group, a Paris-based digital innovator in the travel and lifestyle industry with more than 5,000 hotels, resorts, and residences, as well as over 10,000 food and beverage venues throughout 110 countries.

Hamilton Princess sought an alternative to radios to better support staff collaboration resort-wide. The resort considered PTT app vendors during their selection process but ultimately selected Orion because it was the only enterprise solution that offered an intelligent collaboration platform built to support resort staff’s ability to provide the highest level of safety, care, and comfort to guests in dynamic environments.

«During the COVID-19 pandemic, we took a step back to evaluate technology that can help us better serve our customers,» said Jason Parfitt, Systems Manager at Hamilton Princess & Beach Club. «Orion’s easy-to-use, all-in-one platform supports cross-departmental communication, operational control, and dynamic and urgent situation management, making it the ideal solution to modernize our collaboration technology.»

Orion’s web dispatch console centralizes visibility, management, and decision-making to simplify cross-departmental coordination and enhance productivity across the Hamilton Princess property. The Orion app also enables staff to now instantly communicate 1:1, in groups, or with All-Call workflows.

«Many resorts still rely on out-of-date radios that create a barrier to increasing the productivity and safety of employees and improving customer engagement and satisfaction,» said Greg Taylor, Chief Executive Officer of Orion. «Orion’s intelligent collaboration platform is the ideal system to transform Hamilton Princess’s team communications and operations and support their digitalization journey. I am pleased to welcome Hamilton Princess as Orion’s newest hospitality customer.»

Orion’s intelligent platform offers emergency and panic alerts together with advanced location services that greatly enhance the safety of the resort’s distributed workforce by identifying emergency situations and automatically starting workflows that alert security and management. Advanced location services show management the exact floor and room location of staff in real-time, allowing managers to deploy resources to team members in duress.

About Orion Labs, Inc.

Orion is the leading voice-first, intelligent platform that empowers deskless workers by enabling real-time team collaboration, process automation, location mapping, and access to enterprise systems to improve workforce productivity, safety and compliance, and customer engagement.
